A 724-YEAR-OLD castle which featured in a beloved kids TV show has hit the market for £5million.

The medieval pad includes 30 bedrooms, six towers and a moat – it even hosted Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn for dinner in its Great Hall.

Allington Castle was featured in two Horrible Histories series

Allington Castle, near Maidstone, Kent is a grade I listed property built in 1279 and mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086.

The huge fortress is full of flash medieval features making it the perfect filming location for the CBBC classic Horrible Histories.

The historic gem was used in series eight and nine of the show as Samuel Pepys’ home, the Tower of London, the Palace of Versailles, and a Tudor castle.

Within the huge walls is a jousting yard, two inner courtyards, a great hall and a priest hole.

Its enchanting appearance also bagged it a place in the cult 1960s TV show The Avengers.

But now the castle is being flogged for £5million after its former owner died in 2025 leaving it in need of a new custodian.

The castle is over 24,000 sq ft in size and stands alongside seven cottages and a converted barn.

The massive property is so flash it takes three gardeners, a maintenance manager and two event coordinators to run.

The new owner will be treated to an indoor pool, court and a Victorian-style greenhouse.

Sir Robert Worcester lived inside the historic gem from the late 90s until his death last year.

It was turned into a luxury home by the Wyatt family in the 15th Century and Sir Robert Worcester continued the legacy by restoring it with original features.

Home hunters tempted by the property have been warned that viewings can take up to two hours due to the huge size of the grounds.

A spokesperson from estate agents Knight Frank said: “Allington Castle offers more than a home, it offers a legacy.

“The current owners have carefully maintained and enhanced the estate, preserving its medieval integrity whilst ensuring modern practicality, with certified electrical and heating systems throughout the castle and cottages.”
