Across Yorkshire, there are hundreds of sprawling, stand-out estates that could be a home for you - and all your friends and family - if not for their eye-watering price tags.

There are properties ranging from castles to estates across the county, with many coming with acres of land. Each of these properties costs millions of pounds, so sadly remain unaffordable to the vast majority of people.

They can also be found all across Yorkshire, so there are properties in a number of different locations.
