Rupert Grint spent the better part of a decade unable to sell Kimpton Grange. The Harry Potter actor bought the Hertfordshire estate for £5.4 million ($7.1 million) in 2009, put it on the market for around £6 million ($7.9 million) in 2018, and found no buyer. He has now been cleared to redevelop it instead.
North Hertfordshire District Council has granted planning permission to turn the 22-acre site into 15 homes, an eco-village built around the listed manor house he once hoped to sell.
