A historic Grade II listed mansion near Carlisle is now on the market.
Priced at £1,100,000, Newbiggin Hall, Carleton, was once a 14th-century Pele Tower.
It offers a buyer a total of nine bedrooms and over 6,000 sq ft of space spread across three storeys, along with two standalone apartments.
The estate agency, Hayward Tod, remark on the hall's "enormous potential" for the right buyer, particularly one excited by the prospect of modernisation and improvement.
The listing notes the house was constructed by the De Briskau family, gentrified in the 1690s, and has since been remodelled over six centuries.
Today, it features a 17th-century facade and later Georgian features.
In addition to the nine bedrooms, there are impressive living areas within the massive walls of the Pele Tower, including a grand reception hall, a spacious sitting room, and a sizeable dining room.
The property sits within some three acres of variously landscaped and wooded grounds.
"The property has evolved over time and presents the incoming buyer with a variety of options to further develop the accommodation," the listing reads.
"The two apartments occupy portions of the ground and first floors but can be integrated back into the main residence as required.
"The ground floor apartment is most suited to being a separate space and presents income-generating potential as a result."
