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.
Grade II listed Willersley Castle stands in 60 acres with a gate lodge, stable block and swimming pool.
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’."
