The ultimate fixer-upper is on sale - a run down Gothic castle with 26 bedrooms.

The impressive Welsh castle with a 19th century gothic-edge is currently on for sale for £1,250,000 ($1,629,868).

The 1981 property, named Bryn Corach, is complete in 2.6 acres of grounds - featuring a turret, croquet lawn and castle wall surrounding the garden.

It is a Grade II listed villa in one of the best locations in Conwy, occupying a spectacular elevated stance overlooking the historic walled town and uninterrupted views of the Snowdonia peaks.

The impressive castle does not stand alone, however, for the property also has a further two separate listings attached to it.

It has a former lodge house and a significant detached three-story accommodation block - that features 26 bedrooms.

Bryn Corach was enlarged in the early 20th century, and the further extension (now detached) added in 1963, provides a substantial three storey accommodation block offering 26 bedrooms, many of which have en-suite facilities.

The estate agent, Dafydd hardy, says this building is "in need of some repair and upgrading works, offers potential for conversion to holiday apartments or a lucrative holiday letting business."

They added: "Alternatively, planning permission is also in place to demolish the modern accommodation and reinstate the site to a family home."

There is also a detached former lodge house, although in need of renovation, which would easily provide a self-contained studio apartment.

This quaint lodge offers a ground floor lounge, separate kitchen and shower room.

The original structure of Bryn Corach House is listed for its social historical interest as a hotel and for its ''special architectural interest and definite character."

The grand interior matches the impressive nature of its exterior, with high coved ceilings, open fireplaces and French windows that convey a periodic style hard to replicate.

Renovation works have commenced on Bryn Corach and it now offers enormous potential through completion of works to provide a beautiful, detached family home together with an "exciting business opportunity."
