Legend and rockstar Rod Stewart recently bought Durrington House, a ten bedroom Essex estate with plenty of historical charm. The home is surrounded by beautiful gardens and boasts ten bedrooms, four reception rooms, five bathrooms, several outbuildings (including a large greenhpuse) set on 20 acres.

The home came on the market after over 50 years of family ownership through several generations and maintains the charm of having been tended to in loving care.
