Despite falling cover parts: private man buys country house with 25 rooms
In England, a country house with 25 bedrooms has been auctioned for only around £ 300,000. But the supposed bargain Otterburn Hall has more than one catch.
Real estate dreams could come true here. In England, an estate with 25 bedrooms has been auctioned for an unusual price. Otterburn Hall was sold for £ 305,000 (around 370,000 euros), reported the British news agency PA. That is only about £ 25,000 (30,000 euros) more than the average house price in the country.
The Victorian country house is located on the border with Scotland in the Northumberland National Park. The property includes a grove and a private lake and even has. But the property from the 1870s also has a catch.
The property has not been used since 2012 and had to be extensively renovated, reported PA. Pictures from inside show, for example, a overturned wing and falling cover parts.
Country house “certainly not for the faint of heart”
“Buying a historical property of this size and in this dilapidated state is certainly not for the faint of heart,” said Andrew Parker from SDL Property Auctions, according to PA. They wished the buyer all the best for his plans. The former hotel therefore went to a private buyer, for whom no further details were given.
