Conversions of this nature are rare and highly sought after. The historic Thurland Castle has been transformed into seven luxurious homes and the adjacent stable block into a further five. The conversion has since been nominated for a coveted Civic Trust Award. The historic importance of Thurland Castle is documented in several manuscripts, which are available for the discerning purchaser to read.
The castle is moated and the grounds are free to wander and share with resident swans and passing deer.
This sale represents a unique opportunity to own the only penthouse suite within the main castle, enjoying a rooftop position with excellent views over parkland and the fells including Ingleborough.
The Tunstall Wing is named after Sir Thomas de Tunstall who in 1402 was granted a Royal Licence to crenellate his manor house, which then officially became Thurland - Castle'. Sir Thomas was knighted by Henry V at Agincourt and immortalised in nearby Tunstall church - the view from guest bedroom 1 looks across towards the church.
The property has been thoughtfully designed on one level with great care and imaginative flair to create a fabulous hideaway retreat with immense character, original fittings and high quality appointments. The penthouse also enjoys an exclusive sun terrace in addition to shared use of the 10 acres of estate grounds, including tennis court. Within the prestigious Grade II* Listed castle, this three/four bedroom apartment offers spacious accommodation and is ideal for entertaining.
In all, a very special property offering a select and exclusive lifestyle.
