The amazing 20th-century castle that could be yours - and it comes with its own cottage

Wales is well-known for its ancient castles but now you can own a modern-day fortress that comes with its own cottage.

If you've ever fancied living in a home worthy of Daenerys Targaryen, you can pick up this majestic property in Ruthin for £1,750,000.

Yes you read right - but for that eye-watering price you do get a six bedroom castle with eight reception rooms, five bathrooms, and a separate detached cottage.

Work began on creating Castell Gyrn in 1977 and the property was built in four stages, finally being finished in 1994.

The six-bedroom castle is set in 47 acres land and it's currently on the market with Hinchliffe Holmes.

Found on a hillside overlooking the Vale of Clwyd and Snowdon in the distance, the grounds are entered through a gate.

On the ground floor, you'll find a reception room, a dining room, library, drawing room, as well as a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom.

For all the property's quirks, the castle has been decorated to a high standard, complete with slate flooring by the entrance of the hallway.

If you like hosting large gatherings then you'll love the stately dining room.

As you'd expect this is a property that brings together bags of character and luxury.

If the wall-mounted TV and the arcade machine doesn't sound appealing enough, maybe the cinema room will add an extra dimension of luxury for you?

As for the bathroom, the design continues to showcase the blend of period and contemporary that runs throughout the property.

Meanwhile, in the downstairs sitting room you'll find a tropical fish tank that gives the room a blue hue.
