Actress Jane Seymour has sold her multi-million-pound manor house after a long-running battle with neighbours over late-night parties. Daily Telegraph

She was branded 'the absent neighbour from hell' by residents who complained of traffic and noise problems at St Catherine’s Court near Bath.

She won a court battle recently over her 24-hour alcohol licence at the 13-bedroom Elizabethan property, but has now sold it for an undisclosed sum.

In a recent interview she spoke of how the battle with the neighbours had tainted her love affair with the property.

Mark Strutt, 59, a retired major who organised opposition to the entertainment licence, said he was not sorry to see Seymour go. '...f somebody has bought it with a view to opening a commercial property, then they will find we object very strongly.'
