Gilt-bronze side tables and a teak lounge chair are some of the items up for grabs when Rod Stewart has a house clear out.

On September 11 Sworders' Stanstead Mountfitchet will auction off 60 items belonging to the rock-star.

Many of them are thought to come from Wood House, his home outside Epping which was intermittently occupied by Winston Churchill in 1940 and 1941.

Last year Stewart put the house up for sale for £7.1m.

John Black, the director of Sworders auctioneers, told The Guardian: “We all have a good sort-out once in a while and that is the case with Sir Rod Stewart in this instance.

"He has accumulated many things over his lifetime and has decided now is the time to have a bit of a clear-out.

“He lives locally to us and we are selling items of his including settees, lighting and furniture.

"The items are all very glitzy and glamorous and there is lots of gold – all very rock’n’roll.”

Estimates for the items range from £60 to £3,000 and include a faux leopard print cushion, estimated at £250-£350, a pair of late 19th century pier mirrors, estimated at £2,000-£3,000, and a set of four gilt bronze two-branch wall lights, estimated at £800-£1,200.

The sale is open for viewing at Sworders’ Stansted Mountfitchet salerooms from 9am on Friday, September 7.
