Ripley: If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a castle, this might be your shot. The Ripley Castle Estate in Yorkshire is on the market for the first time in 700 years. But it comes with a hefty price tag of £21 million.

The Ingilby family has called this place home for centuries. Now, one lucky buyer could shape its future. Sir Thomas Ingilby describes it as a magical place, perfect for fairy tales.

The castle is surrounded by 445 acres of beautiful parkland and gardens. It dates back to the 14th century and showcases stunning architecture from different eras.

You’ll find unique features like The Gatehouse from 1450 and the impressive Old Tower. The grand entrance leads to a lovely Carriage Lawn and a striking tower completed in 1555.

This castle has seen a lot of history, from the Wars of the Roses to visits from kings. It even has ties to the Gunpowder Plot.

Mr. Ingilby shared a fascinating story about ‘Trooper Jane’ who guarded Oliver Cromwell during his stay.

Ripley Castle is just five miles from Harrogate and close to Leeds and York. The charming village of Ripley adds to its appeal with its historic vibe and community spirit.

Mark Granger from Carter Jonas says this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to own such a unique estate. It’s not just about the castle; it’s about the beauty and history that comes with it.
