Five-bedroom ‘Castle’ in Norfolk goes on sale for £750,000

A five-bedroom manor house known as ‘The Castle’ in Norfolk has gone on the market with a guide price of £750,000 – giving you the chance to live like royalty. 

The stunning property, which was built in the early 19th century to look like a castle, is located in Holt, a Georgian market town four miles away from the picturesque coastline – and has the same asking price as that of a detached house. 

Gaining its nickname due to its regal exterior, which features mock turrets, flag pole and stone walls, it boasts extensive gardens – along with the option to buy more land – and is fit for a king or queen. 

Formerly a part of Gresham’s School campus and set within a gated environment, the manor house, which approaches 2,500 square feet, sits alongside three other period properties in an area described as being ‘close to town yet remarkably peaceful and private’.

Inside, the downstairs boasts a large modern kitchen, which is fitted with shaker-style furniture – with white and minimalist features continuing throughout. 

The room features high-ceilings and has plenty of storage along with large, original windows on both ends to give the space a light and airy feel. 

The windows are both original and have optional shutters which are fully functional – plus the addition of a dining table perfect for family meals.

The sitting room has three large windows and a fireplace and is slightly smaller than the lounge and the kitchen, further enhancing its cosy feel. 

It currently has dark sofas, cream carpets and white walls, while wall-mounted antlers take centre-stage as guests enter the room. 

Meanwhile, the lounge is larger with the same cream carpets and white walls, but this time intricate pieces of art grace the ceilings, while a light blue sofa and patterned armchairs add a pop of colour to an otherwise simple, yet elegant interior.  

Directly off the formal sitting room, a raised sun terrace overlooks the grounds, while the ground floor also features a guest toilet, a utility room and the fifth bedroom, which can be used as a study.  

In front of the property is a gravelled courtyard area (pictured) with space for parking, while to one side and to the rear are the south-facing lawned gardens with mature borders
