Rightmove keeps Jeremy Clarkson claim despite denial

For almost two weeks, the property portal has been advertising a mansion in Yorkshire as the “childhood home of the Top Gear and Clarkson’s Farm legend himself”.

On the market for £1.475 million, the five-bedroom Grade II-listed house is situated in Tickhill, not far from Doncaster.

It has four reception rooms, a large living kitchen and three bathrooms.

Despite this and being contacted directly by the Oxford Mail, Rightmove has continued to advertise the “famous home” as Mr Clarkson’s with a Facebook post still making the claim.
