Amazing fairytale castle on sale for half the price of average London flat

Amazing fairytale castle on sale for same price as average London flat

A stunning castle fit for a princess has gone on sale for half the average price of a flat in central London.

It's not hard to imagine Lily James' Cinderella running down the steps of this 13th century castle in the Dordogne, France.

But the huge property – complete with 14 bedrooms, the same number of bathrooms and a suit of armour – is on sale for £703,400, just over half the average cost of a flat in Central London.

As well as fortified walls, a Rapunzel-style tower and a swimming pool, the fairytale castle built on a hilltop boasts incredible grounds covering 46 hectares.

And since being renovated in the 19th century, and then more recently in 2002, the incredible chateau has proved itself a majestic home.

Just 15 minutes from the town of Brives la Gaillarde and two hours from Bordeaux, its position in the Périgord Noir means any wannabe prince or princess is close to the Bergerac wine producing region.

And all this comes for just over half the average price of a flat in Central London last year, which according to RightMove data was £1,350,401.

A spokesperson for LuxuryEstate.com, where potential buyers can find out more, said: "This is a lovely 13th century castle.

"It has a big, chateau kitchen, very big sitting rooms with fireplaces and 14 luxurious double bedrooms, each with shower room and toilet.

"It's a bargain with great potential for extension work."
