According to the listing, Gosford Castle was built by the 2nd Earl of Gosford, Archibald Acheson, and was designed in the Norman Revival style by London architect Thomas Hopper. It was occupied by the Earls of Gosfard until 1921, when it was used during the Second World War to accommodate troops and hold a prisoner of war camp on the property.

The castle was most recently purchased by a developer who began turning it into multiple luxury apartment units. The portion that’s currently for sale has been “partially developed” with the goal of converting it into six individual units of around 3,500 square feet, some including a rooftop garden.
