Pictures inside 'stunning' Derbyshire castle and former hotel on the market for £4million

These images show the interior and exterior of a landmark Derbyshire castle which is on the market for the first time in a century.

Willersley Castle, at Cromford, closed its doors as a hotel during the summer after owners took ‘the difficult decision’ not to reopen following the coronavirus lockdown.

The castle, built for Sir Richard Arkwright, the industrialist who invented water-powered cotton mills, is now being marketed by Dewitt’s commercial property advisers and is expected to sell for £4million.

Marketing of the property by Dewitts states: “Thanks to this rich industrial heritage, the impressive architecture and interior of Willersley Castle still overflows with character and charm.

"Many original features remain, including Robert Adam fireplaces and the striking, dome-covered ‘Well Gallery’."
