The Castle, Castle Eden

At that time, "the estate was in poor condition and unenclosed, the chapel was in ruins and the mansion house had gone".

The house has three storeys and a seven-bay entrance front, and encompasses 15,102 square feet (1,403.0 m2).

In 1881 the census records the resident as Rev John Burdon, a widower with two children and ten servants.

In about 1863 the entrance frontage was enhanced by the addition of a single-storey six-bayed palmhouse, and in 1893 a north wing was added.

The property was for sale in late 2020, with 14 acres of land; the castle then included 11 bedrooms and 15,102 square feet of space.
