'It's only been on the market for a week, but there are several viewings booked in, which is nice,' says Sir Thomas. 'We have no idea who they are though.'

In any case, their attention is currently occupied by having two weddings to plan, that of their youngest son Richard and daughter Eleanor, both of whom are marrying in May.

'It feels rather lovely, as the family history here started with a marriage and now it will end with one,' says Sir Thomas.

They seem like lovely people. :)

That would be a nice starter-home for me.

Provided, of course, it comes with 1600 acres of unspoiled land.

[Lazamataz]

Why, there’s almost enough room for you to make me a sammich!

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

I could probably retire there.

[monkeyshine]

Does it come with serfs and peasants?

The seller is a poor excuse as an heir.

He needs to be disowned.

[Jamestown1630]

That ‘home’ looks like a nightmare to care for.

Does it come with serfs and peasants?

Wenches! That's what I'm looking for!

[Leaning Right]

I was interested in the castle, at first. But I don’t see a bocce court in the picture. So I believe I’ll pass.

That’s me, impressing the crowd.

In reality we’re TRYING to sell our family castle for $21 mm to some American idiot who doesn’t realize the annual upkeep is $5 million.

This would make a great bed and breakfast spot on upper levels, with guided museum tour offered. Or, maybe a casino on ground level. I don’t suppose a crocodile filled moat would be part of the picture. Maintenance costs, for both inside and the surrounding grounds will be expensive.

Just get a robot vacuum and you're good.

[monkeyshine]

Oh definitely. You need a wench to get the motorboat into that lake.

Winch! Winch! It's spelled Winch!

[Mi-kha-el]

Dlya odnikh pokhlyobka slishkom zhidkaya, dlya drugikh brillianty slishkom melkiye (For some people the soup is too thin, for some the diamonds are too small). Or, like John Lennon said: “The people in the cheaper seats, clap your hands. And the rest of you, if you’d just rattle your jewelry.”

[Lazamataz]

Does it come with serfs and peasants?

In about 300 years, when society collapses.

[Thank You Rush]

Comes with its own cemetery!

I could use a wench anytime....
