An historic stately home that burned to the ground in a devastating arson attack has been put up for sale for £3m - £12m less than what it was worth.
Grade I listed Parnham House, near Beaminster, Dorset, is now just a charred shell of the magnificent mansion it once was.
It was destroyed in the huge blaze in April last year and its millionaire owner, hedge fund manager Michael Treichl, was arrested on suspicion of starting the fire.
But while on police bail, Mr Treichl, 69, was found drowned in Lake Geneva, Switzerland, in an apparent suicide.
Despite initial vows by the family that they would rebuild the 500-year-old home, receivers have been brought in by the mortgage lenders to sell what remains of the property.
