If you ever wanted to live in a castle, now is your opportunity.

Appleby Castle, located in Eden Valley, England (in the Lake District), is a Norman castle built in the 12th century—and it's up for sale.

The property has a fascinating history. Per UK Sotheby’s International Realty, which is selling the property, "Appleby Castle has stood sentinel over the Eden Valley for centuries. Its weathered stones tell tales of Norman conquests, medieval battles, and the resilience of a family who called it home."

The castle was long a strategic stronghold, first built by a man named Ranulph le Meschin, the 3rd Earl of Chester. Then, Hugh de Morville, Lord of Westmorland—a knight who served under King Henry II—took over the castle, and built it up. Per Sotheby's, "Caesar's Tower, a formidable three-story keep with walls 1.8 meters thick, rose from the earth around 1170. Ceded to the Scots, recaptured by the English, and embroiled in the Wars of the Roses, the castle saw its fair share of turmoil. Yet, through it all, the Clifford family remained a constant presence, shaping and reshaping the castle to reflect the changing times."

Soon, Thomas Clifford expanded the castle even more, but as Sotheby's notes, "tragedy struck at the Battle of Towton, and Appleby found itself caught in the crossfire of England's brutal civil war. By the 16th century, the once proud fortress had become a humble county jail, its grandeur dimmed by the dust of battles and the passage of time." The castle then passed to the 14th Baroness de Clifford, Lady Anne Clifford: From 1649 to 1676, "she poured her heart and soul into restoring the castle. She brought its gardens back to life, repaired the damaged structures, and breathed new life into the ancient stones. Lady Anne's grandson, Thomas, the sixth Earl of Thanet, concluded major construction in 1688, transforming the castle into a splendid Palladian mansion."

Decades, and centuries passed, until Appleby Castle was purchased in 1997 by a woman named Sally Nightingale, who tells Bloomberg her ex-husband was a "castle fanatic." They restored the castle, and converted much of it into a hotel that opened in 2013. (She kept a private wing for herself). Now, the castle features 22 bedrooms, 19 bathrooms, a Great Hall, and so much more. The asking price is £9,500,000 (roughly $12 million); more information can be found here.
