Stunning 16th century castle can be yours for £2.3 million (but you'll need to buy the associated baronetcy separately)

A stunning castle with its own wine cellar and private golf course is on the market for £2.3 million.

Located between the towns of Arbroath and Carnoustie in Scotland, Kelly Castle is a four-storey fortified castle dating back to the 16th century.

The B-listed house with eight bedrooms can be viewed Zoopla and is set in 33 hectares of beautifully landscaped gardens.

Whoever buys the castle could also take over the title of Baron from Kelly in Angus, if they are willing to negotiate with the current owners.

A number of tasteful renovations and upgrades have been carried out by the current owners. This includes a nine-hole golf course and a modern bedroom with en suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe.

Despite the modern touches, much of the historic building's character remains intact, including an ornate living room with wooden floors and perfectly preserved staircases.

Some of the furniture in Kelly Castle is available upon request.

The castle is for sale with Strutt Parker and was purchased by the current owners in 2001. But the history of Kelly Castle is much older.

The land on which the castle now stands was originally owned by Philip de Moubray, a Norman settler, and his descendants.

They forfeited the property during the reign of Robert the Bruce and it was given to the Stewart family.

In 1641 Kelly Castle passed to the Irvine family who expanded it with two wings and a courtyard.

Towards the end of the 17th century the castle passed to the Earls of Panmure and then to the Ramsay Earls of Dalhousie after the Jacobite Rising of 1715.

The castle was abandoned for about a century before being restored by John Shiell in the 1860s.

Today, Kelly Castle has five beautiful bedrooms and five bathrooms, along with a self-contained two-bedroom caretaker's residence flat and a one-bedroom staff flat, both with private entrances.

The ground floor contains the master bedroom with en suite bathroom, a second bedroom, sitting room, kitchen, snooker room, bar, wine cellar and cinema room.

On the first floor is a beautiful library, sitting room, dining room, two en suite bedrooms, a kitchen and a family room.

The second floor has a salon and home office, while the third floor has an en suite bedroom.

There are two more bedrooms on the fourth floor, and a small tower room on the fifth floor. Many of the rooms on the top floor offer views over the spectacular North Sea.

Kelly Castle has a formal walled garden with not only a golf course but also a croquet lawn. The garden is also surrounded by mature woodland and the Elliot Water flows through the grounds.

In addition to a snooker room, the property also features a cellar bar and a cinema room

The officers say: 'Kelly Castle is a hugely impressive Scottish fortified tower house. Grade B listed by Historic Environment Scotland. The major renovations and adjustments were completed by the current owners in 2009.

'As you would expect, the rooms are stunning and retain many original features such as decorative plasterwork, with some rooms offering views over the walled gardens and into the distance to the North Sea.

'There are numerous public areas including a cellar bar, snooker room and cinema room. The location and layout are suitable for different buyers, especially as a large family home and for people with an interest in golf.

'The owners have created a private nine-hole golf course, and the castle is in close proximity to both the Carnoustie Golf Course which has hosted The Open, and the home of golf at St Andrews.

'The current owners purchased the castle in 2001 and have been wonderful stewards of it, carrying out a sympathetic renovation and making significant improvements and alterations, without sparing any expense.'
