Set within the grounds of Appleby Castle, once owned by Lady Anne Clifford, the Baron’s wing is an elegant townhouse making up part of the compound of the castle. Available by separate sale, the property is defined by its regal charm and breathtaking views across the valley.
The ground floor features a medieval dining room converted to stone in 1180. Adjacent to it, a magnificent Clive Christian Kitchen blends modern luxury with historic features.

On the second floor, Lady Anne Clifford's bedroom offers panoramic views of the restored Norman Keep, alongside two other spacious bedrooms and a bathroom, with a hidden room beneath one of them.
The third floor reveals two large bedrooms, another bathroom, a charming ‘Wizard's’ family room, and ample storage space. The Barons wing treats inhabitants to stunning views of Bongate Ford and the Pennines to the east, as well as the Norman Keep and parkland.
Surrounded by 25 acres of listed heritage parkland with scenic walking paths, this property encapsulates historic grandeur and natural beauty in every part of its grounds.
The castle is set at the upper reaches of Boroughgate in Appleby, in the Eden Valley at the edge of the Lake District. One of the UK’s most historic castles, the Grade I-listed building features sandstone walls beneath a pitched slate and lead roof. The 12th-century motte and bailey castle also has a Norman keep and a 13th-century round tower.
