For £1.9 million, an intriguing 12th-century Northumbrian Grade I listed home is available for purchase.
Known as Coupland Castle, the original owners sold it to sailor Sir Chaloner Ogle RN in the eighteenth century. Ogle gained notoriety for vanquishing Batholomew Roberts, a pirate who amassed an estimated 456 ships. Additionally, it’s believed that Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean character Jack Sparrow was modeled after Batholomew.
Situated about four miles northwest of Wooler, the property has been expanded over the years to form a large family house, all the while preserving its outstanding architectural characteristics.
There will be plenty of spaces for relaxation for the new homeowners with 11 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and 9 sitting areas. Spread across four stories, the space includes a formal drawing room, library, large dining area, game room, crenelated tower, and children’s play area.
This flexible open-plan space offers something for everyone, whether you enjoy entertaining or just want a common area to relax with the whole family. The kitchen features an attached breakfast room that looks out onto the outdoor patio.
