Adele’s Haunted House Comment Complicates Mansion Sale in Sussex

The singer's remarks from a 2012 interview have reportedly discouraged buyers, leading the owner to propose renovations to divide the property.

Adele rented the 10-bedroom Lock House mansion in West Sussex for six months in 2012 and described parts of it as 'scary' during a televised interview with Anderson Cooper.
The owner claims Adele's comments, along with subsequent media reports suggesting the house is haunted, have made it difficult to sell the property for over 14 years.
The mansion, built in 1909 and previously a convent, features luxury amenities like swimming pools, a tennis court, and a helipad but has failed to attract buyers despite extensive marketing efforts.
A planning application has been submitted to convert the property into three residential units and a cottage in hopes of improving its marketability.
The Sussex village where the mansion is located is known for its rich history of paranormal sightings, adding to the house's haunted reputation.
