This Yorkshire Castle Has Just Hit The Market For £21M

With The Traitors back on our screens, you just might have castle life on your mind – and after this Traitors-style home hit the market at the beginning of the year, yet another castle is now up for sale. Take a look inside the Ripley Castle Estate in Yorkshire…

Yorkshire’s Ripley Castle Is Up For Sale

When it comes to historic homes, you can’t get much more impressive than a Grade I listed medieval castle – and this one has been owned by the same family for over 700 years. Now on the market for the first time ever, it sits within a 445-acre estate encompassing shooting grounds, ornamental gardens and even a deer park.

The castle itself is complete with a breathtaking reception hall, two drawing rooms and a library. But that’s just the start: you can expect a whole host of dazzling features, from a magnificent cantilever staircase to an enormous stained glass window. (To say nothing of the Knight’s Chamber, which showcases an original oak ceiling dating back to the Tudor period.)

Before it hit the market, the castle served as one of North Yorkshire’s finest tourist attractions – which is why it also encompasses a tea room, cafe and a gift shop, alongside a Grade II listed hotel and an ice cream parlour. (Even the village cricket ground is nestled within the estate.)

While the castle itself is home to a network of offices, kitchens and store rooms, the grounds contain a Grade I listed apartment boasting three reception rooms, six bathrooms and 11 bedrooms. You’ll spot an additional one-bedroom gatehouse, too.

Top it all off with walled gardens, rolling parkland, lakes and orchard and you’ve got a truly lavish property. It’s no wonder this sprawling estate is listed for £21 million…
