This 15-Bedroom Mansion On Sale For Less Than A London Flat

A historic three-story Welsh mansion in Wales has gone up for sale.

The 15-bedroom building, called Marle Hall, had served many purposes over the years.

The mansion was built in 1661 for Sir Hugh Williams, 5th Baronet of Penrhyn. Much of the original structure was reportedly destroyed by fire in the mid-1700s.

In 1903, the building was opened as a convalescent home, and in 1965, it became a nursing home.

The Warwickshire County Council purchased the property in 1971 and operated it as an outdoor learning center for school children. The council announced the closure of the learning center in October despite the 7,000-signature petition against it.

The hillside estate is about 50 miles west of Liverpool. It comes with 3.6 acres of land, a cottage and other outbuildings. The property also offers stunning views of the Welsh countryside.

The mansion enjoys a Grade II listing, a designation accorded to properties that are of “special interest, warranting every effort to preserve it,” according to real estate conglomerate Bidwells.

The property gained its Grade II listing in 1950 reportedly for its “special architectural interest as primarily an early 20th century convalescent home of definite character, with significant earlier origin as a country house.”

The mansion is going to be auctioned off with a guide price of just $530,000 — less than the price of a one-bedroom flat in London, which typically costs about $600,000, per The New York Post.

The most glorious features of the mansion are the "entrance hall and staircase, boasting wood wall paneling, [intricately] carved newel posts, Jacobean-style balusters and stained glass window panels,” noted a WalesOnline report.

The building also boasts a large commercial kitchen, a large dining room with long tables and multiple chairs, carpeted classrooms, offices and lounges.

Huge Georgian windows, wood floorboards, exposed ceiling beams and carved stone archway dating back to Tudor times can also be seen throughout the property.
