In 2021, the mansion was reportedly put for sale for offers over £5 million, before eventually hitting the market at just over £180,000.

The listing reads: “Once the focal point of Pennyghael Estate, the house now lies in a derelict state but offers a wonderful opportunity for the next custodians to either restore the current house or develop a new property elsewhere on the site, subject to the necessary permissions being obtained.
“Planning permission was granted in 2007 for the demolition of parts of the existing building and restoration of the remainder.
“The house, as it is, stands in a commanding position in its landscape overlooking the former walled garden, grazing and mixed woodland.”
