Description
As probably the first castle to be built in the UK in over a century, this is an extraordinary opportunity to own an entirely unique luxury property that blends the past with the future. Positioned on the site of what was once a 'folly castle' suggested by the Prince Regent to Lord and Lady Hertford, the original castle was built around the turn of the 18th century. Having been left largely untouched since 1930, in 2020 it was completely replaced by this grand salute to modern architectural majesty. Set for final completion in 2025, the new castle will span 11,595 sq. ft. and include four reception rooms, five principal bedrooms, a two-bedroom apartment and a self-contained garden pavilion/guest annex overlooking the private lake. The incredible exterior with Purbeck rustic stone and vertical timber boarding is just the beginning of the story and has been designed to blend as seamlessly as possible with the surrounding environment. Inside the castle will be host to an array of bespoke amenities and features including a classic car showroom, a gym, outdoor kitchen and a natural swimming pool. There is also a wonderful, custom-built kitchen, reflecting pool and a gorgeous roof terrace with 360° views. The castle will be as near to net zero energy as possible with sustainable detailing like photovoltaic roof slates, air source heat pumps, green flat roofs and a wind turbine which is expected to contribute to its A EPC rating.
