Ripley Castle, Owned by One Family for 700 Years, Listed for Sale at £21 Million

The historic 445-acre estate in North Yorkshire, featuring a helipad, cricket pitch, and wedding venue, is being sold as its owners plan to retire.

Ripley Castle, a Grade I-listed property near Harrogate, North Yorkshire, has been owned by the Ingilby family since the early 1300s.
The estate spans 445 acres and includes features such as a lake, pub, helipad, cricket pitch, hotel, tea room, and a wedding venue.
The property is listed for £21 million, potentially making it one of the most expensive sales outside London, and is divided into nine lots that can be purchased separately or as a whole.
Sir Thomas and Lady Emma Ingilby, nearing 70, decided to sell after decades of maintenance to pursue retirement and travel opportunities.
The castle has a storied history, including connections to King Edward III, the Gunpowder Plot, and significant architectural and conservation efforts by the Ingilby family.
