Press Castle is an imposing former mansion house which lies within a short distance of the highly desirable coastal village of Coldingham, famed for its award winning bay.

With no restrictions on use, the property is likely to attract interest from a range of buyers including those seeking a period property main residence, a weekend bolthole for coastal escapes or perhaps as a exciting commercial holiday let venture.
