Charlcombe Manor is up for sale A huge mansion on the outskirts of has come on the market and we think it looks a bit like Hogwarts.
If beams, gothic windows and a four-poster bed make you feel right at home, this could be the perfect place to spend Halloween next year. You half expect Snape to come swooping up the stairs, or to find Dumbledore pacing in the study.
Charlcombe Manor is believed to be the only Jacobean house of its kind in Bath and boasts original cornicing, stone mullioned windows and an ashlar stone fireplace.
Sadly, most people will need a magic wand to be able to afford this five-bedroom home, which has been valued at £3.5 million. But even if that’s a lot more than you’ve got in your Gringott’s vault, there’s no harm in looking.
The living room would put you in mind of the Slytherin common room and, if you look very closely at the ornate fireplace, you’ll see a little snake carved into the stone. Spooky or what?
Perhaps this decadent home doesn’t so much resemble Hogwarts, but Malfoy Manor. Moving into the dining room, it’s easy to imagine Lucius and Narcissa enjoying a five-course meal, with Dobby bringing in the plates.
And he would have a magnificent kitchen to work in, complete with a huge cooker, plenty of cupboards and lots of natural light. But you’d have to pity him with five bedrooms to clean.
The main bedroom is a real show-stopper, currently decked out in rich fabrics with a four-poster bed. The built-in window seat makes the best of that glorious view, while the large radiator and open fire mean you’ll stay cosy, even in the depths of winter.
If you fancy a soak after a long day studying potions, playing Quidditch or maybe even battling Voldemort, this lovely manor has got you covered. Just next door to the main bedroom is a beautiful bathroom that would make even a Hogwarts prefect jealous.
