The fairytale castle by the coast - going for the price of a Didsbury terrace

An impressive Grade II country house located by the coast in Snowdonia National Park is up for sale.

With its historic architecture and castle-like turrets, it’s by no means cheap.

But when compared to a four bedroom terrace in Didsbury for roughly the same price, the eight-bed home, with a self-contained flat and attached cottage to boot looks like a bargain.

The stylishly renovated Manchester home, located on Barlow Moor Road, just outside Didsbury Village, comes in at £785,000. The statement property has a spacious living area, a modern open-plan kitchen, and two large bathrooms with beautiful free-standing baths.

It's decked out with quirky polka dot carpets and features exposed brickwork.

On the other hand, the Snowdonia castle needs its decor updating, but is asking for similar offers in the region of £799,950.

So what else do you get for your money?

Arthog Hall comes with commanding views across Mawddach Estuary and beyond from its 4.67 acres of land - that even boasts a sunken croquet lawn, naturally.

It's an ideal spot for lovers of the great outdoors as the area is renowned for bird watching, boating, and fishing.

The traditional 1750 stone house retains many of its original features with an Aga in the kitchen, period fireplaces, and arched windows.

Upon opening the stained-glass double doors, the main entrance leads into a grand open galleried hallway with a double staircase.

To the first floor, there is a large galleried landing leading to the master bedroom with ensuite and dressing room, further bedrooms and bathrooms.

The unique property boasts a billiards room with wooden panelling, complete with its own bar, currently furnished with Chesterfield leather sofas.

Alongside its outer buildings consisting of a workshop, garage, stabling and lean-to garden store, there's the attached three bedroom Mews Cottage, which is currently used as a holiday letting.

The extensive property and its gardens and woodland lie behind electric wrought iron gates.
