Rarely does such an exemplary property become available with its wealth of history, There is so much to tell about this fabulous property… a stunning home, of course, or equally… a fantastic business opportunity.
 
The castle offers impressive accommodation, set over 3 floors with stone staircases (any guesses as to why the staircases taper and become narrower toward the top floor?) ? An impressive Entrance hall that still has an 18th Century copper pot used for boiling the water (with a fire under the pot and a water pump across the room!) ? Luxury bedrooms one which still has a door to reveal the old 'money room'. Numerous bathrooms each with their own character, a fabulous drawing room and the property also benefits from some modern features including oil central heating, double glazing and up to date sewerage systems.

It may hardly need to be said… that aside from being a fantastic and spacious family home this property lends itself handsomely to use as a superb leisure business base – most obviously as a luxury Chambres d'Hotes and celebration or conference venue. But possible uses are as wide as your imagination.
