Everyone is delighted that Castle House has been fully renovated to an extremely high standard using highly skilled craftsmen and is now opened providing:
The Trustees, once the transfer had been completed, had two possible options regarding the future of Castle House. The first would be to renovate the building and continue to use it as eight (or fewer) residential flats. This would preserve the building but provide no benefit to the Castle visitors, Ludlow town, the district nor would it enable the public to see the interior of the only habitable part of Ludlow Castle.
The full renovation cost approximately £1m more than restoring Castle House to residential use and was completed in early June 2007.This exciting and ambitious renovation has allowed the ground floor of Castle House, for the first time in its history, to be accessible to all and adds greatly to the facilities offered in the castle - which was always one of the main reasons for embarking on this project.
