About the home

Carr Hall Castle replicates a Norman Castle and is a Grade II folly building. It is situated in a secluded, wooded valley, adjacent to a deer park, close to Halifax in West Yorkshire. Originally it was a farmhouse and barn, for breeding shire horses, in 1860 the Shaw family converted the buildings into a beautiful Castle. The Castle boasts battlements, towers with arrow slit windows and arch headed windows.

In 2002 the Castle was purchased by Terry George and Michael Rothwell, who spent £1 million modernising it. The four year renovation of their property led to it winning "Britain's Best Home 2008". During that year, Terry George also appeared in the Channel 4 TV series Secret Millionaire.
