Llanerchydol Hall, Welshpool, Powys
Llanerchydol Hall, Welshpool, Powys is mouthwateringly gorgeous! 13 bedrooms and the most magnificent building you’ve seen for … ok so I might have showed you a castle or two recently, but this one is lovely too!
It has some history too -Llanerchydol was the seat of David Pugh, Esquire, a wealthy tea trader who built the present house in 1776 on the site of a previous house.
The historic landscape was created by renowned architect John Repton
The ceiling in the hall is stunning, with a beautiful arch.
A kitchen with a big aga and a rocking chair!

Caverswall Castle
Caverswall Castle is a Grade 1 listed moated castle in Blythe Bridge Road, Caverswall, Stoke-On-Trent
Amongst it’s delightful features are 3 Converted turrets: Thomas Moore, Matthew Craddock, Sister Josephine. It also has a Converted gatehouse plus an Old dungeon.
All in there are 11 suites all of which have spacious double bedrooms and decadent en suite bath/shower rooms.
The castle has a long history as you would expect and was built on the site of an Anglo-Saxon Manor, on the spot where two tributaries of the River Blythe meet. Ernulf de Hesing, as Saxon-holder, who was perhaps driven from the estate during the Conquest. From him it passed to Sir William
de Caverswall who incorporated the tributaries to form his moat when he received a “licence to Crenellate” his Saxon Manor house in 1275
The Castle fell into decay until 1615 when Matthew Cradock, Mayor of Stafford and a wealthy merchant, bought and rebuilt it as a Jacobean mansion in about 1625
It is stunning inside with panelling and ceilings!
It isn’t actually the whole castle though as a small part was sold off some years ago.
Lot of land!
38,000 acres is an awful lot of land. This 14 bedroom house in Invercauld Estates, Royal Deeside, Aberdeenshire is available for sale.
This is an impressive castle!
Photos to sell a house… the front door ajar
You’ll have seen photos of the front door of houses open on photos on rightmove.
It seems to be a classic shot for classic houses.
Cannon Court Farm, Cannon Court Road, Maidenhead, Berkshire has a front door ajar photo. It does seem to be a photo that is only used on expensive houses though. I’ve yet to see one on a run of the mill terrace property.
This amazing house in Salcombe has a fantastic view from the front door so you can see why the estate agent has used a photo of this front door open.
Do we like photos from inside looking out through the front door? Yes, in most cases they show some important architectural feature such as original doors, but often they just show us how nice it’d be to live in a house like that.
This house in Yorkshire has the door open too. It’s the The Old Rectory, Rectory Corner, Brandsby, North Yorkshire. It’s a 7 bedroom lovely looking house too. Got lots of the things I’m looking for too – Principal bedroom with bathroom en suite, guest bedroom suite, bedroom 3 with shower room, 4 further bedrooms, shower room, separate w.c, 2 bedroom cottage/annexe. It also has a Detached cottage with private rear garden.
Stable courtyard with loose boxes, stables, garaging for 3 cars, general purpose building with workshop.
Coach house with swimming pool, gymnasium and leisure suite.
Walled and lawned gardens with ha-ha, conservatory and tennis court. Woodland, pasture, stream-fed lake.
Ogle Castle
Ogle Castle had to be included not because of the name, although it’s an intriguing one that will catch your eye!
It’s rightmove description says “Ogle Castle is believed to be one of the oldest inhabited buildings in Northumberland. Occupation of this property dates back to 1341” – read more at Ogle Castle’s rightmove page
Grade I listed building with 9 bedrooms.
Some stunning features inside the house and outside.
Beechfield Tower in northumberland
Beechfield Tower includes a fine example of a Northumbrian Pele tower.
8 bedrooms and a price tag of £3,500,000 it’s a stunning building.
Picture 6 is dreamy for me!
The pictures are all fascinating. It’s a beautiful building with some really interesting things inside! The Stag heads are probably what you’d expect in a big house like this. The grounds are so pretty and it has a tennis court!
Peel towers (also spelt pele) are small fortified keeps or tower houses, built along the English and Scottish borders in the Scottish Marches and North of England, intended as watch towers where signal fires could be lit by the garrison to warn of approaching danger. By an Act of Parliament in 1455, each of these towers was required to have an iron basket on its summit and a smoke or fire signal, for day or night use, ready at hand. From the wiki page
