This spectacular castle, declared a Cultural Asset of National Interest, was built in 1894 and was designed by a renowned architect of the Catalan bourgeoisie. The castle has an eclectic style, with a certain classicist tendency, close to the modernism that was fashionable at the time. It is dominated by an imposing round tower, with slate roofs and a beautiful attached chapel. Currently, the castle is a private building , whose renovation and restoration works began in 2014 and ended in 2018. It is 1,966m² on 15.6ha, with 19 bedrooms and 17 bathrooms and a guest house. A little pricey at €3,490,000 but for all that space and renovated so beautifully I had to share. For sale via Lucas Fox.

A home so full of character and history and such beautiful details I had to share despite it being unfurnished. Incredible opportunity to have so much space and be right in the heart of the city (pros and cons to that mind you). For sale for €750,000 via Lucas Fox.

Built in the first half of the 17th Century it was likely commissioned by a rich merchant… The interior has many unique architectural features extending to some 6,400 sq ft and has been the subject of a roof-to-cellar award winning program of restoration, creating a home of authentic, historical character complemented with 21st Century modern comforts. It has 5 reception rooms, 5 bedroom suites, a guest cottage, courtyard buildings and a pool. Anglo-Dutch parterre gardens have golden sand pathways leading through symmetrical lawns and avenues of buxus topiary designs against a backdrop of handsome evergreen oaks and other ornamental trees.
This West Sussex stunner would require some saving up to purchase (£3,750,000 eeekkkk) but WOW this is a majestic home that needs no work (except maybe a bit in the kitchen). For sale via Jackson-Stops.
