English musician Charlie Watts’ house was Halsdon House, a 600-acre 16th century estate in the small village of Dolton in Devon, UK. The estate is also home to an Arabian horse stud farm. Watts lived there with his wife Shirley since the late 1960s. Prior to moving to Dolton, the couple lived in a cottage in Lewes, East Sussex known as The Old Brewery. They moved in part due to unwanted attention from fans.
Charlie Watts’ net worth was $250 million. A vast majority of his financial success came from his role as the drummer for The Rolling Stones, though he was also an accomplished jazz drummer.
Watts was born in London and attended Harrow Art School, after which he worked as a graphic designer and began drumming in jazz and rhythm and blues bands. He joined The Rolling Stones in 1963. The Rolling Stones have released 30 studio albums and toured 48 times, selling over 240 million records. They are the fourth bestselling musical act of all time. Watts played on every record and never missed a show till his death in 2021.
Though Watts had his struggles with substances and addiction, especially for a period in the 1980s, he was known for shirking the typical rock and roll lifestyle that many of his bandmates indulged in throughout their highly successful careers. He remained dutifully faithful to his wife and lived a private and restrained lifestyle relative to his peers. He was also known for his refined fashion sense, often wearing bespoke English suits during public appearances and understated collared shirts on stage.
Charlie Watts is survived by his daughter Serafina, and his granddaughter Charlotte, and his wife Shirley. They were married in 1964.

Stargroves (also known as Stargrove House) is a manor house and associated estate at East Woodhay in the English county of Hampshire. The house belonged to Mick Jagger during the 1970s and was a recording venue for the Rolling Stones and various other rock bands, as well as a filming location for Doctor Who.
The Goddard family owned the estate from 1565 until about 1830. Oliver Cromwell stopped at Stargroves after the second battle of Newbury (27 October 1644), and was entertained by the owner, John Goddard; the basin or china bowl in which his breakfast (toast and ale) was served is in the custody of the rector besides some letters referring to the incident. Edward Goddard owned the estate from 1778 to 1788. It was also owned by Capt. Sir F. H. W. Carden, 3rd Baronet.
In the early 1840s Stargrove House was destroyed by a fire. Around 1848 a new manor house was built, designed in an ornate, Victorian Gothic style in the manner of a French château. The new manor house was bought by a Captain Ramsay, and in 1879, the house was sold to Sir Frederick Henry Walter Carden, who made alterations to the house and landscaped the park.
Stargroves is noted for its revivalist architectural features such as castellations, corner turrets and Tudor revival windows. Today, Stargrove House is a Grade II listed building.
Mick Jagger purchased the estate in 1970 for £55,000 from Sir Henry Carden.
The Rolling Stones recorded at Stargroves before their move to France in spring 1971. These recordings were laid down via a mobile recording studio control room located in a custom-built truck known as the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio. The band recorded a number of albums and singles at Stargroves, including various tracks that appeared on Sticky Fingers, Exile on Main Street, and It's Only Rock 'n Roll.
Other notable musical acts bands also recorded at Stargroves using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio. The Who recorded songs such as "Won't Get Fooled Again" and "Pure and Easy" in 1971. In 1972, Led Zeppelin recorded songs that later appeared on the albums Houses of the Holy (1973), Physical Graffiti (1975) and Coda (1982).
In the 1970s, Sir Mark Palmer and his band of wealthy New Age travellers and their horse-drawn caravans spent much time at Stargroves.
The house's exterior and its grounds were extensively used for filming the Doctor Who serials Pyramids of Mars (1975) and Image of the Fendahl (1977) from Tom Baker's time as the Fourth Doctor.
Jagger sold Stargroves in 1979, for £200,000, to Boxford businessman John Varley. It was then bought by Swedish businessman, Claes Bourghardt, in 1984, for £525,000. He sold it 4 years later 1988 to Paul Dupee Jr, the owner of the Boston Celtics for £2,250,000 who sold it in 1993 after having created a basketball court and expansive gardens.
In 1998, Rod Stewart bought Stargroves for £2.5 million from Frank Williams but never moved in. He split with his wife Rachel Hunter soon after exchanging contracts and sold it. In 2012, Stargroves was sold for more than its £15 million listing price to a member of the Sackler family.
