Hidden Secrets

REVEALED: The hidden secrets of a modern Welsh castle that costs £2.8M and looks like it was built centuries ago

  • Modern home resembles an 18th century castle but it was only built 22 years ago
  • It comes with hidden stair cases, state-of-the-art invisible wall speakers and an electronic triple garage
  • It is due to be sold at auction next month with a guide price of £2,875,000

 

With its stone turrets and black cannons, this Welsh castle looks as though it was built centuries ago. But the reality tells a far more modern story as the foundations were only carved out of a Welsh hilltop a couple of decades ago.

The castle was built in 1994, making it one of the youngest in Britain, and it incorporates an abundance of high-tech features that most definitely belong in the 21st century.

They include a garden statue of a dragon that can breathe fire and state-of-the-art 'invisible' wall speakers.

The property is listed with estate agents Lot 11 and is due to be sold at auction next month with a guide price of £2,875,000.

The price means that the castle is also one of the most expensive properties for sale in North Wales.

The average value of a property in the area is significantly lower at £180,000, according to property website Zoopla.

So what will you get for your money? Well, the modern castle comes with 46 acres of land and hidden stair cases, as well as the state-of-the-art invisible wall speakers.

In the garden, there is also a statue of a dragon, which has been carved out of a 200 year old tree - and guests to the property may get a surprise while driving past the large carving as it breathes fire.
