"The property boasts a plethora of rooms and features that can only be appreciated by viewing."

They include a 1970s-style memorabilia-billed bar and snug.

Bill, a life-long heavy smoker, died aged 71 in Tenerife almost exactly four years ago.

Liz Dawn, who played his nagging on-screen wife Vera, said at the time: "You couldn't wish to meet a more lovely man and a true gentleman."

The married dad-of-two left the soap in 2010 after playing Rovers Return favourite Jack Duckworth for more than 30 years.

Jack and Vera's constant bickering was at the heart of the show's trademark mix of humour and drama.

Bill was married for 50 years to childhood sweetheart Alma, who died aged 70 in September last year.
