Stunning £2.5m Victorian castle with 45 rooms including 20-seat cinema could be yours for just a fiver
Orchadton Castle - valued at £2.5m - is being raffled off by owner Susan DeVere after repeated attempts to flog the estate
A HISTORIC castle with 45 rooms could be yours for just £5 - and it comes with a posh title.
Orchadton Castle - valued at £2.5m - is being raffled off by owner Susan DeVere after repeated attempts to flog the estate failed.
The lucky winner will pick up the castle without stamp duty or a mortgage - and will pick up the title of laird if they win.
The 1880s castle contains 17 bedrooms, three internal flats, a 20-seat cinema, a drawing room, a music room, a games room, and an art studio.
Susan, a mum-of-one and author from London, hopes to sell 550,000 tickets.
She will donate any extra cash to charities including the rainbow trust.
She said: "With so much natural beauty and history Orchardton gripped me immediately.
"I found it to be a magical, tranquil and healing place; the castle and its lands have their own micro-climate due to the Gulf Stream and the sheltered bay, we even have a palm tree.
"The competition is a great way to raise money for important causes and I only taking enough to pay off the mortgage and get somewhere closer to my mother.
"If you win you will be offered a week at Orchardton to decide if you want to accept the prize or to take a cash prize instead.

"Orchardton could be put to so many good uses, but I understand that some people will want to just sell the prize as it is such high value or take a cash prize.
"I will be happy to introduce the winner to the property and to discuss the ample opportunities for businesses Orchardton possesses. It would also make a fantastic home for several families."
