EVER wanted to live like royalty?
Mathern Palace, a grade one-listed house just outside of Chepstow, offers all the medieval idiosyncrasies you'd need to feel like a king or queen.
Listed at £3,000,000, the nine-bedroom property means you will also have to have the finances fit for royalty.

Mathern Palace dates back to the 15th Century, when it was originally owned by the Bishops of Llandaff, before falling into a state of disrepair.
It survived years of neglect until in 1894, the near-ruin was bought by H Avray Tipping, a renowned architectural historian and garden designer.
Tipping rebuilt the Palace and designed and laid out its gardens.

The Palace - which housed Belgian World War I refugees in 1914 - is now used as both a family home and a wedding venue.
In total, there are ten bedrooms, nine bathrooms and five reception rooms.
