A magnificent 19th-century castle, with 10 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms and 31 acres of sprawling outdoor land, is for sale in Glandyfi, Wales, for £2.8 million.
Step inside Glandyfi Castle and you'll be greeted by mullion windows, octagonal towers, impressive chimneys, superb architectural detail, luxurious bathrooms, a contemporary kitchen and traditional stone walls.
The castle was first built in the early 19th century by an unknown architect for the Welsh evangelist, George Jeffreys and his wife, Justina. The castle and surrounding estate is said to have remained in the Jeffreys family until 1906, but was then passed on to new owners.
Upon arrival, the front door will lead you down a panelled hall and to the beautiful drawing room. This space is elegant, light and welcoming, with heaps of room for the whole family to unwind by the roaring fire.
Elsewhere inside you'll find a comfortable sitting room, recently-renovated bedrooms (all with ensuite bathrooms) and one of our favourite spots: the octagonal library. Here, there's a pink marble fireplace, stacks of books, floor-to-ceiling gothic-style windows and stylish furnishings.
This home might be bubbling with character and charm from over 200 years ago, but its recent renovation makes it perfect for a new family to move in right away.
New homeowners will love the breathtaking Medieval stone courtyard, too. The glass roof provides plenty of natural light, while the cosy furnishings means it's a place where everyone can unwind after a tiresome day.
Outside, there is a series of outbuildings, including garages, a workshop and a two-bedroom lodge (which could be used as a holiday let).
With a mesmeric countryside backdrop and panoramic views across the glorious Dovey Estuary and the Mountains of Snowdonia National Park, it really does feel incredibly magical. Set in the deep folds of the Welsh countryside, you can expect plenty of scenic walking routes and lazy picnic lunch spots.
Looking to escape to the countryside? We couldn't think of anywhere more grand.
Glandyfi Castle is currently on the market for £2,850,000 via Strutt & Parker.
