A 12-bedroom hotel that is like something out of Harry Potter has gone on the market with a reduced price.
Built in the heyday of the 19th-century gothic revival movement and an early cousin to the likes of Balmoral, the castle is in the centre of the British Isles, with unparalleled transport links north, south, east and west. There are six international airports within a two-hour drive, although there is also plenty of room to land a helicopter in the 12 acres of private grounds.
“We’ve really enjoyed our reign here however now would be the right time to abdicate from the throne, and hand over the castle’s keys to a new dynasty to take on the mantle.” There is additional accommodation in the Victorian stables and Coach House which provides the option to run the whole property as a hotel, a mix of B&B and self-catering or to live like royalty in the main castle and let out the remaining buildings to guests. The location is on the doorstep of England’s finest grouse moors, and the grounds lends itself to glamping and events, or further extension subject to planning approval.
