For sale, a house in Castle Barnard that was part of estate owned by Richard III….

If these three things—old, historic and Richard III—are to your liking, and if you are prepared to add higgledy-piggledy to your list, then Blagraves in Castle Barnard is surely for you. Go here  https://inigo.com/sales-list/blagraves (from which my illustrations are taken) to see the details of this amazing property, which is the second oldest in Castle Barnard after the castle itself. You will probably understand why I’ve described it as higgledy-piggledy.

I first came upon the sale of Blagraves here https://tinyurl.com/4pr4ezf5. And you can read about the history of Barnard Castle itself here https://www.british-history.ac.uk/topographical-dict/england/pp148-153.  

There is no need for me to elaborate on this listing, because with all its photographs it rather speaks for itself. So if it’s for you, get your £575.000 ready.
