Own a Piece of the 11th-Century "Hall Garth" – Castle Motte House, Thorne

Castle Motte House represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to acquire a residence built upon the very foundations of Thorne’s medieval history. Located on what was historically known as the "Hall Garth," this property sits on land that has served as a site of high-status residence since the Norman Conquest in the 11th century.

A Heritage Triple-Crown Location:

The property is uniquely nestled within a protected "time-capsule" of English Heritage:

Directly Adjacent to Peel Hill Motte: The site of the 11th-century castle built by William de Warenne. Your garden shares a boundary with a Scheduled Monument that once housed a Norman fortress and a 16th-century royal prison.

Steps from St Nicholas Church: A magnificent Grade I listed 12th-century church, providing a stunning architectural view from the property.

Next to The Travis School: A beautiful Grade II listed landmark that ensures the historic character of the street remains unchanged.

History & Potential:

While the current residence offers all the comforts of a modern home, it sits within the historic "curtilage" of the castle. Historical records suggest the site has been occupied by significant buildings for nearly a millennium. This makes it an incomparable asset for:

Heritage Guardians: Those looking to own a home with a deep, documented connection to the Norman Conquest.

High-End Investors: The perfect location for a luxury boutique "Castle View" holiday let or a prestigious professional residence.

Priced at £410,000, Castle Motte House is a rare chance to purchase a home where the backyard is a monument and the neighbors are Grade I listed landmarks.
