Kirby Knowle Castle, Thirsk, North Yorkshire, YO7
A 700-year-old castle where Mary Queen of Scots once toasted the Yorkshire sunset.
An immaculately refurbished Grade II listed gem. 14,208 sq ft of drawing rooms, a cinema, gym, steam room and snooker lair. Plus a standalone 2-bed cottage for guests or staff.
Asking £7,000,000. Running it will sting—around £17,500/month (maintenance, tax and insurance do the heavy lifting). The biomass boiler helps keep the chill off, but those stone walls still bite on misty mornings.
You’d wheel your barrow along the cobbled drive to feed the biomass boiler before brewing breakfast (and hope the electric gate holds).
