Asking price revealed as Ripley Castle estate goes on market
The Ripley Castle estate has gone on the market for £21 million.
Sir Thomas and Lady Ingilby announced in June last year they were to sell the estate after 700 years in the family.
It is available to buy in its entirety or as nine separate lots.
This means ownership of the estate could be broken up between multiple parties.
Agent Carter Jonas describes the 14th century castle, a grade one listed building, as “a magnificent country estate nestled on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park” and the “iconic centrepiece of the estate”.
The lots are:
