Clarkson denies Rightmove claim he grew up at Yorkshire mansion
Oxfordshire's Jeremy Clarkson has sensationally denied he is associated with a Yorkshire mansion, publicly advertised as where he grew up.
Property website Rightmove has described a five-bedroom Grade II listed property as the 'childhood home of the Top Gear and Clarkson's Farm legend'.
Located in the town of Tickhill near Doncaster, it is set in more than 5,000 square feet with three bathrooms, four reception rooms and a large garden.
Called a 'famous home' by the property website, its current starting price is £1,475,000.
