Iron Maiden bassist Steve Harris has revealed he would like to turn his house in England into a boutique hotel for fans of the band.
Harris owns an eight-bedroom mansion in Essex, ‘Sheering Hall’, that he originally put on the market for £6.75 million back in 2012. However after five years and numerous price drops, he’s now come up with an alternative plan for the property.
Speaking to Swedish radio station Bandit Rock, ‘Arry discussed how he rarely he visits the house now he lives abroad.
“I’m hardly ever there, I’m actually trying to sell it, so if anyone wants to buy it… it’s a good chance to get an advert in for that!” he joked.
The 9-acre property is certainly not short of a plush room or two; check out the video below!
He went on to reveal that if he’s unable to sell the place for his revised price then he’s got an incredible back-up plan.
“In an ideal world, I’d like to turn it into a boutique hotel, and I think Maiden fans would go there.”
“I mean, I had a small bar in Portugal — called Eddie’s Bar — which is no longer open; it closed a few years ago. But people used to come from all over the world just to go to that little bar, and I think maybe they would go to the house.”
Explaining why he thinks it’s a goer, Steve elaborated “We recorded some albums there, too, in the studio — ‘Fear Of The Dark’ we recorded there and a few others — and there’s lots of memorabilia there and everything like that. So… I don’t know. That would be a nice plan. A boutique hotel… It means I could still stay there as well, which would be great! It’d be an ideal world for me, really. Yeah, it’d be nice.”
