Augill Castle, a stunning 19th-century Victorian Gothic folly nestled on approximately 10 acres, is now up for sale for around £2 million. This magnificent property, which has previously operated as an award-winning boutique hotel, presents a unique opportunity for someone to convert it into a private country house.
Located near Kirkby Stephen, Augill Castle boasts a range of impressive features. The main house, with its formal and informal reception rooms, includes the Music Room, which features an Arts-and-Crafts fireplace. The main house offers seven en-suite bedrooms, and the hotel's bar is located in the conservatory. The library leads out onto a terrace, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.
In addition to the main house, there are five separate garden suites and estate houses that provide a further six bedrooms. The grounds extend to 10 acres and offer amenities such as a tennis court, parking for 30 cars, and a playground.
Annunciata Elwes, the director of contemporary art gallery TIN MAN ART and an award-winning journalist specialising in art, culture, and property, has been associated with Augill Castle. Elwes, who was born in Lancashire and currently resides in Hampshire with her husband, two daughters, and a mischievous pug, co-founded a literary, art, and music festival in Oxfordshire and served as News & Property Editor for our platform, as well as at The Sunday Times Travel Magazine.
John Goodall, the architectural editor, wrote a book on castles titled 'Castles', and it is worth noting that Augill Castle is not a medieval castle built for warfare or conquest, but rather a Victorian Gothic folly.
