    I just watched a short on YT. The host of the short walked up to a man and asked how much rent he paid each month. The man said that he didn't pay rent as he owns his home, which he paid 0ne million pounds for. The short was a tour of this very castle !! I didn't know about this channel before I read in the comment section of the short that said in multiple comments that this tiny castle was on this channel, so here I am !!

    I live near this and it is a lovely landmark. There’s only one problem which is surely why they were unable to sell it...it’s very close to a busy road (the A418 from Aylesbury to Thame). Horrifically noisy. They cleverly omitted that detail on Grand Designs and pointed the camera across the lovely open fields to the North.
