Surrounded by 13 acres of rich walled pasture land, the castle comprises of five bedrooms across five floors, connected by a spiral staircase with handrail and rope.
The castle has five bedrooms and two main reception rooms spread across five floors
All of the rooms have electric storage heaters and the two main reception rooms have large wood-burning stoves.
Across the beautiful 13 acres are a meadow garden with ornamental pond and fruit trees, a massive paddock, a spring and a medieval quarry site.
Visitors to the castle are immediately struck by the intimidating oak door to the lobby and with every step original features are to be seen unless hidden like the entrance to a secret room.
