And it’s on the rental market for the same price as a two-bedroom terrace in Wimbledon.

Sprawling seven-bedroom 19th century Bellister Castle in Northumberland has just become available for a bargain £1,750 a month.

Legend has it the castle is also home to a “grey man” who, having been unjustly accused of being a spy, was savaged to death by hounds

Local myth

Owned by the National Trust, it stands on a prominent mound in the South Tyne Valley just outside picturesque Haltwhistle and boasts mature grounds, a walled garden, stables and an orchard.

The property is part of the Bellister Estate that was given to the Trust in 1976. It is available to rent for 10 years.

The mansion house, rebuilt in 1826 by architect John Dobson, is attached to the remains of a Grade 1 listed 14th century tower house.

But some tenants might be put off by having to share with a ghost. Legend has it the castle is also home to a “grey man” – a minstrel who, having been unjustly accused of being a spy, was savaged to death by hounds as he fled.
