House-hunters stunned after mini castle sells for “surprisingly affordable” price of £695k 

PROPERTY browsers have been left stunned after spotting a stunning mini castle which has sold for less than it costs to buy a two-bed property in London.

Gate House in Tavistock, Devon was placed on the market for an asking price of £695,000 for the gorgeous stone-built detached property and was quickly snapped up this week.

The 1,835 sq ft home comes complete with three beds and three bathrooms as well as providing ample space for entertaining, with two living rooms.

The interior of the home offers a large kitchen and diner with mint green cupboards complete with bronze handles adding a sumptuous finish to the design.

A twin basin sink sits below the windows which offer a large amount of natural light into the dining area of the home.

A double oven sits in the corner of the kitchen below the stove with a wooden table situated nearby for dinner guests.

The first living room shows off the intricate brickwork of the property with an archway flowing from the dining room to the area.

An exposed brick pattern shows the natural materials which have forged this home whilst a large glass table occupies most of the space on the rug next to the couch.

The master bedroom offers another look at the quality craftsmanship with exposed beams hanging above the four-poster bed.

A large carved wooden table holds two lamps with a mirror and some plants in the middle of them.

All three bathrooms in the property are equipped with modern walk-in showers and towel rails alongside individual sinks.

The back garden again features the stunning brickwork of the home alongside a small patch of grass which could be used in the summer for sunbathing.

The home was placed on the market by Savills and was snapped up quickly, leaving house-browsers stunned.

Another added: “That is gorgeous, I imagined it surrounded by serene gardens then I saw the street view.”

A third replied: “High up windows, thick walls, parapets. It’s the ultimate zombie apocalypse safe house.”

The average price of a property in Tavistock was £330,967 over the last calendar year according to property website Rightmove.
