‘Why are we selling family cast’ after 700 years’

Owners of 700 years old Castle and Estate have said that it has been a “privilege” who is its patron.

The Replay Castle near Haroget has been home to the Ingilbi family since the 14th century.

However, Sir Thomas and Lady Ingilbi have placed the property for sale with a £ 21m price tag.

Baronnet and his wife said that this decision was due to retiring and other work after decades after working to maintain large assets.

Sir Thomas said, “There are days when we are very positive about it, there are other days when we are unhappy what we will remember.”

“I have been taking care of this place for more than 50 years, so this has been my whole life. I don’t want to go out of the feet first, I have found things that I want to do.”

Lady said the property was commercially run and the couple were expecting “spending some time together in retirement”.

Sir Thomas inherited property at the age of 18, and said that when he married Emma in 1984, he had a list of things that he wanted to achieve for the palace, in which most of the roof space Was involved.

“We have ticking every box in that list.

“We have left it in the best position and protected heritage for future generations.”

Lady said that many people sold their homes but “our bus grows up”.

“Someone else may have experience, because it is a privilege, such a privilege, to be able to live here.”

The couple said that the final family programs in the palace would include their daughter and younger son marriages, which Sir Thomas said it was appropriate that the property was acquired in the early 1300s.

The property includes 445 acres of land, a cricket pitch, hotel, tea room, gift shop and wedding site.

It is divided into nine lots, which can be purchased individually or as whole.

Grade I-LISTED Castle has three reception rooms, 11 bedrooms and six baths/shower rooms.

Lady Ingilbi said: “I hope the new owner appreciates history, because the history of England is the history of England.

“But nothing is still standing, they should do what they like with it, until they love it and take care of it.”

Sir Thomas said that he can assure that whoever bought it does not have to stay for 700 years.

“They should not feel under that pressure. They can reflect 100 years or after that and I hope they enjoy it.”
