You Can Buy Your Own Castle In The Midlands For The Same Price As A London Flat

You Can Buy Your Own Castle In The Midlands For The Same Price As A London Flat The 19th century property, dubbed Molly's Lodge, boasts a pyramidal slate roof, stone mullion windows and limestone corner turrets If you've ever dreamed of being the king or queen of your own castle, this could be the perfect home for you. The property, dubbed Molly's Lodge, boasts a pyramidal slate roof, stone mullion windows and limestone corner turrets. Although not technically a true castle, the 19th century building's exterior certainly gives the appearance of a grand fortress. And at £550,000, the property in Shipston-on-Stour, Warwickshire, would not cost you too much more than a typical London flat. Last year, the average flat in the capital was sold for £501,628. Molly's Lodge was built in 1834 by Edward Blore, who had previously helped extend Buckingham Palace before it became the royal home. The most unique part of the Grade II-listed former gate house in Little Wolford is definitely the exterior, the Birmingham Mail reports. The remarkable design can be seen as you approach the property using the gravel driveway, with a glazed oak door serving as the entrance. A stone archway leads into the kitchen, fitted with a range of wall and base units and appliances, as well as a gorgeous view of the cottage garden with box hedging and a gravelled seating area. The dining room is accessed from the kitchen with lots of original features and charm, including a decorative Victorian cast iron fireplace over a stone hearth. Another fireplace fitted with a wood burning stove can be found in the generous dual aspect sitting room. The entrance hall features the original front door and has a stone alcove fitted with shelving and a wrought iron spiral staircase that ascends to the first floor and double bedroom. This room has a vaulted ceiling with exposed roof timbers, as well as a bank of fitted wardrobes. Situated adjacent the property is Molly's Mews, a detached timber framed building incorporating a single garage, two open bay carports and a secure home office. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/...
