Previous owner of Knockderry Castle was evicted after refusing to pay bill that then spiralled to £30,000

A baronial castle that has been at the centre of a 25-year legal battle over a £230 debt has gone on the market for more than £1.25m.and is A-listed, largely on account of its ornate and richly panelled Leiperian interior, which is considered one of the finest examples of the style in Scotland in the country.

Her repeated refusals to pay escalated the debt to £30,000, at which point a bankruptcy trustee was appointed to take control of her assets, and Van Overwaele fought attempts to have her evicted so that the mansion could be sold off to pay her creditors. The mansion, which was built in the 1850s and is set above Loch Long, is being marketed for offers over £1.25m by the estate agents Strutt & Parker and Shepherd surveyors.With six bedrooms, four reception rooms and a wealth of original features including turrets, stone balustrades and a minstrel gallery, potential buyers have been cautioned that the property requires “extensive upgrading and refurbishment”.
