Fancy owning your own Traitors castle? Eight-bedroom manor in Northumberland built with bricks from Hadrian’s Wall up for sale with £2million price tag
Bellister Castle, a Grade I listed manor in Haltwhistle, Northumberland, has been put up for sale for offers over £2 million. The 12th-century property, built with stone from nearby Hadrian’s Wall, offers buyers a rare chance to own a historic fortified home with modern comforts and extensive grounds.
The castle covers 4,778 square feet and has eight bedrooms, alongside a two-bedroom lodge and courtyard outbuildings. It sits on a motte within 1,200 acres of National Trust parkland, and its current owners have restored it after a major renovation by architect John Dobson in 1826. The owner says the farmhouse and stables could offer scope for further development.
