Once owned by 'The Stainless Knight', Brian Tunstall - a war hero who died at the Battle of Flodden in 1513 and was immortalised in a poem by Sir Walter Scott - the Thurland Wing has been extensively renovated to bring its 1,000-year past up to date.

However, the castle retains many original features including mullion windows and stone fireplaces.

A surviving feature of the castle is the ballroom, complete with Carrera marble fire place, carved linen-fold wood panelling dating back to the 1880s, and stained glass windows.

The Thurland Wing, Lancs., is a family property, with all three bedrooms offering en suite facilities and the master suite boasting dual-aspect views over the Lancashire countryside.

The updated kitchen has a traditional aga as well as a Belfast sink and a stunning large skylight.
