ESTATE agents have been “licensed to sell” the former Cheshire country pile of 007 actor Roger Moore.

The 17th-century Broxton Hall manor house, near Chester, has gone on the market for a cool £1m.

Set in four acres of land, the hotel has 10 en-suite guest bedrooms and a further five for staff, as well as an owners’ apartment.

Once the home of the James Bond legend and star of The Saint – along with countless movies – the hall was built in 1671 and has at different times been used as a Magistrates’ Court, an Inland Revenue office and stud farm.

Roger Moore lived there during his second marriage, to the singer Dorothy Squires. The marriage ended in the late 1960s.

In recent years, the star has devoted much of his time to charity work, supporting Unicef around the world.

Lord Grosvenor, part of the Duke of Westminster’s family, lived and died at the hall at the end of the 19th century.

Owner John Ireland believes the versatile building could support yet another new lease of life.

He said: “It has had a number of uses in the past and I believe it could be developed as a venue, as offices or as residences.”
