Castle 'like something out of a Disney film' is now on sale - for £1.75m

A stunning "Disney" castle has hit the market - for a cool £1.75million.

Orchardton Castle, in Scotland, boasts more than 40 rooms and is fit for a cartoon king, according to Rightmove.

The firm said the 20-bedroom baronial style castle "looks a bit like something out of a Disney film".

Built in the 18th century in the Dumfries and Galloway area, the four-floor property boasts 15 bathrooms and five-acre grounds.

It is currently being used as a family home, according to the listing - but could be transformed into a hotel or wedding venue.

The castle was "extensively renovated" in 2011 although some areas still need work, the blurb added.

Rightmove said: "This mega palace in Auchencairn, Dumfires & Galloway, looks a bit like something out of a Disney film.

"It was built in the distinctive Scottish Baronial style in the late 18th century, and is a true architectural gem.

"In recent years, the castle has undergone major refurbishments, including a new roof, electrics, pipework and central heating, so it is currently being used as a family residence.

"A very large family residence, mind you – we’re talking about a space with 40 rooms and 30 fireplaces!"

And it adds: "Orchardton Castle sits in grounds extending to approximately 5 acres with a mixture of lawns, mature shrubs and a pond.

"The gardens benefit from being in the gulf-stream which aids a number of unusual and interesting plants to grow including a palm tree.

"Whilst some areas still require some TLC Orchardton offers outstanding potential as a wonderful family home or scope for business ventures such as a boutique hotel, wedding venue or conversion to apartments."

The property is being sold by Fine & Country.

It is freehold, with offers of over £1.75million being considered.
