An impressive castellated folly, built in 1810, is on the market in Pwllheli, Wales, for £310,000 — and it could be yours.
Picton Castle sits on an elevation position, overlooking the small seaside town below. Arranged over two floors, some of the head-turning features include the stained-glass windows, large lounge, landscaped terrace gardens, double-glazed summer house, dining room, and original stone fireplaces, too.
While it could do with a little updating, the castle's characterful personality is what makes it so special. Peppered with historical touches, it has everything you might expect to find in a traditional 18th century folly.
It's not the largest castle on the market, but it's certainly one of the most unique we've seen. One of our favourite elements is the delightful garden, which feels both peaceful and secluded. From the gorgeous flowers to the spectacular views, it's the ideal sun trap for relaxing with an afternoon tea.
Speaking about the property, Vikki Bennett from OnTheMarket said: "The future custodian of Picton Castle will be buying a unique home in a beautiful situation. The building itself is very striking but the inside is presented for modern living – there aren't many properties like it."
Picton Castle has spectacular views over the harbour, marina and Cardigan Bay, with the mountains of Mid Wales beyond. When you're not enjoying all the characterful castle has to offer, head to Pwllheli — a thriving market town and seaside resort with lots of explore.
This property is currently on the market for £310,000 with Tudor Estate Agents via OnTheMarket.
