But if that is what you are after, you are in luck, because that is exactly what we have here. It's believed to have been built out of the stone from Hadrian's wall which is very near by. The history of the place is fascinating. The castle had two pele towers which you find along the English/Scottish boarder to defend against raiders. Does anyone else find it insane that you can buy this? And then live in it as your home. Because I certainly do. So if you dream of living in a castle, now is your time. #castle

Transcript

There's a twelfth century Northumbrian castle on the market right no. It's best 900 years old and you can buy it. You you find that insane. So it's in Northeast Of England, a place called Northumbria, which is where it's got this Northumbria flag on top. I absolutely love that. It's got 4.5 acres of stunning stunning land and gardens in it. Look at this. What a view that is. Can you imagine sitting on that bench in your own garden looking at your own castle? Just this is insane. It's also got gorgeous outbuildings like this little lodge here which is beautiful with its own little bad garden as well, I love that. Then it's also got all these buildings here which again are just stunning, you could use it as a holiday best something like that. Surrounding it by the way 1,200 acres of National Trust Woodlands no the general ambiance is gonna be out of this worse. Owls. And then inside the castle, of course, it's just magnificent vibes. Look at this rank oven in the kitchen by the way. That is that's a humdinger. Wowzers trousers. What a place. But Tom, how much is it gonna cost to have your own medieval castle? It's a great question. Glad you asked. Well, I can tell you this is on the market right now for 拢2,000,000
