King Charles has lived in a number of homes over his life, with many being some of the most famous properties in the country. From Clarence House to Buckingham Palace, the monarch, 76, has not been short of famous and regal homes over the years.
However, while he may be very well accustomed to life in Palaces, the King hasn’t always lived in properties adorned with history and chandeliers. Instead, the monarch has spent a lot of time also living in countryside abodes, with one example being his much-loved Highgrove home.
Another example is a home he once owned in Dartmoor National Park, which is now up for sale for the hefty fee of £4.5 million.
As reported by The Mirror, Charles owned Brimptsmead Estate, an Edwardian country home, for a number of years until 1993, when he sold the property.
Originally built as a private hunting lodge, the six-bed home has the added bonus of being in the heart of Dartmoor National Park, spanning around nine acres of land.
While the home is set to make the next buyers very happy, there is one catch for the future owners who want to call the King’s ex-home theirs.
As reported by The Mirror, this is the fact that Charles still holds fishing rights on the property, which means that if he wants to, the King can fish on the estate and give homeowners just 24 hours’ advance warning.
Although it may be unlikely for the monarch to do this, especially with his busy schedule, this shows a fondness His Majesty most likely felt towards the property, despite parting ways with it over three decades ago.
It is not known why Charles sold the home, which is currently on the market with By Design for an asking price of £4.5 million.
Although the monarch now spends most of his time in London, it is believed the King still gets plenty of countryside time at his Highgrove home, which he is believed to visit at weekends.
