The mansion owned by the chairman of a construction of company who was crushed to death in the garden has been put up for sale less than two years after the tragedy.

Yonder Lodge, the family home of Dermot Clancy in Penn, has gone on the market for over £5 million less than two years after the 67-year-old died.

Mr Clancy, who owned London construction company Clancy Group, died on September 10, 2019, after the red ride-on lawn mower he was on toppled over and landed on top of him.

The father-of-five's tragic death left his loved-ones distraught, with his family saying his "huge personality, his smile, cheeky disposition and big heartedness would be a loss to the hundreds of lives he touched."

Now, the nine-bed, seven bathroom Grade II home where the family lived in Elm Road has gone up for sale.

The listing says the nine-bed mansion has only been owned by five families since it was built in the early 1800s and has a gym, wine cellar, tennis court, orchard, outdoor heated swimming pool and pool house and drawing room, as well as a six-acre paddock.

Born in London into a first-generation Irish immigrant family, Dermot spent his early years in Wembley, as his father strove to create a better life for his family, eventually setting up MJ Clancy & Sons Ltd in 1958.

Dermot was educated at Challoner School, Finchley, and went on to study business studies in which he qualified in 1972.

He met the love of his life, Vicky, at the age of 18, and they went on to marry in 1974.

After college he joined the family business and quickly worked his way up to being appointed as a director in 1975.

Following their father’s death in 1984, Dermot and his brother Kevin became joint managing directors of the re-named Clancy Group. He remained in this role until he and Kevin became Joint Chairmen in 2012.

Away from business Dermot was a member of the board of governors of the Beacon Preparatory School in Amersham for 10 years - which his family say was a "source of great personal pride" after four of his five children attended the school.

At the time of his death, a family statement read: "Dermot was never happier than when he was surrounded by his family around the dinner table at his home in Penn.

"He was a famously generous spirit, and welcomed hundreds of people into his home for parties, and at places like Royal Ascot, Twickenham and Wembley.

"He leaves behind a legacy of hard work, fun, family values and friendship."
