This place was on the market a few years ago for about £7mil as far as I can remember. That would explain the sales particulars coming in a silver cover. Again, marketed by Strutt and Parker, I believe floor plans of this place are hard to come by.

If you keep collecting paperwork like this, you'll need a secretary to run your filing system!

An aerial view from the sales particulars. (which unfortunately goes across two pages) You get the idea though. The older part of the castle is at the front right hand side of the picture.

I wondered when one of those would come out.
How close is this to home Andrew?

[AJR]

It was not easy to find one of these old prints to download from the net. I would like to have a copy in my collection sometime.

It is not very close to home - the other side of Kent from me, and not easily accessible without a car.
