Richard Hammond has vowed to ‘find a way to share’ his £2million Welsh manor with the eight bat species that recently upended his grand renovation plans.
The former Top Gear host, 56, plans to make extensive additions to the six-bedroom Georgian manor house in Wales, including adding a heritage-style showroom to house his extensive car collection, a library and a memorabilia gallery.
The plans would also see the tennis court replaced with a padel court and pavilion.
However, the ambitious refurbishment plans were thrown into doubt after a bat survey found eight species living on the 21-acre estate.
