Dating back to the 1700s, this historic home has changed owners only twice in the past century, offering a unique opportunity to become a part of its remarkable story.
Known as New Bewley Castle this home takes its name from the old castle that once stood just 3 fields away.
During the reign of Henry VIII, the original castle was ransacked and fell into ruin, but its legacy lives on with many of its cornerstones used in the construction of New Bewley Castle, and the original shield above the door.
