biggest fireplace?

OK, so it’s not a normal house at all, it’s a beautiful tudor manor house.
But with such a huge fireplace!

Purported to have been built in or around 1520, Barsham Manor House has played host over the last five centuries to many guests, from monarchs, knights, politicians and celebrities to latter day rock legends. Its most famous guest was undoubtedly King Henry VIII who stayed here on at least five separate occasions (never with the same wife!) whilst visiting the nearby shrine to our Lady of Walsingham and, whilst The Manor’s construction has always been attributed to Sir Henry Fermor, Henry VIII once referred to it as “my small country palace in Barsham.”

Where can I live?

It asks where you want to live near – work or friends and family. It asks where that is. How you’ll visit them, and how far away in time do you want to be. It asks how many bedrooms, and what sort of property and then finally what your budget is.

21st century castle

21st century castle surrounded
21st century castle surrounded by magnificent panoramic views set in the picturesque setting of North Wales. The Castle is to be sold along with its surrounding 46 acres of land.

Upon first inspection one would consider the Castle to belong to the 18th century. However it was actually only recently completed in 1994 making it one of the youngest castles in the country. Construction of the castle originally began in 1977 and was completed in four phases by architect John Taylor who constructed this property for himself. The current owner has left no stone unturned throughout its latest renovation with upgrades to its interior as well as a new additional wing and a triple garage.

 

The property is tastefully littered with artworks crafted by well known craftsmen with the first being a dragon carved out of a 200 years (approx) tree which actually breathes fire upon a guests entry through the gates.
