If you’ve been watching the BritBox series, The Beast Must Die, which was filmed on the Isle of Wight last year, you’re bound to recognise the magnificent Gatcombe House pictured above.
This eleven-bedroomed mansion, home in the series to the easily dislikeable character George Rattery, is currently up for sale.
Majestic property
With a guide price of £5,950,000, this Grade II* listed country house, which sits within the 48-acre Gatcombe Park Estate, also boasts a converted coach house, a separate cottage, a tennis court and an outdoor swimming pool.
The beautiful tree-lined drive up to the property gives you a flavour of what to expect once you reach this majestic Georgian house.
Royal guest
It is rumoured that when King Charles I was imprisoned at Carisbrooke Castle – Sir Edward Worsley who owned Gatcombe – help him escape and squirrelled the King him at the property, before betraying and returning His Royal Highness to Carisbrooke Castle.
View in person
If you’ve got a cool £6m going spare, this Thursday (24th) is the viewing day (strictly by appointment only) when you’ll be able to take a look around the property in person.
