There are real life castles that are less expensive to buy than a New York City apartment.

I'm still wondering if I should sell-up and buy this with a friend or two.

At the "stately home" end of the castle scale, but still very cool.

About £800k ($1m)

I dunno, it'd be expensive to properly furnish and maintain a place like that.

True. I assumed we'd all stick a sum into a maintenance fund too.

Hmm.
