Kinmel Hall was pulled from the auction due to the legal pack not being ready on time.

Property Auctions are always interesting, as they attract the most unusual properties that would be difficult to sell normally.

Thanks for the info DaveR. A mine of information as usual!
Have you ever been able to have a look around it? I have read about its history and previous uses. There are still stately home road signs to it from the A55 but when you get to the entrance it says private property.
There are quite a few photos and this link and the original asking price of offers in excess of £15,000,000!

£15m was true optimism from the owners...  &shake&

This was the closest I've got to it (so far), a view through the side entrance gate:

I visited Kinmel Hall once years ago, it is huge and rambling and the grounds are extensive and stunning, but the upkeep must be an absolute nightmare. There must be rooms in there that no-one has been in for years.

Kinmela Hall was sold before the Auction for £1.5m. Speculation is that buyer is Sir Terry Matthews, who plans to transform it into a top hotel.

The old Prince Of Wales Hotel in Caernarfon is up for sale at £250k. That's a lot of building for your money.

This place facinates me. I would love to have a look around but this is as far as I got today

I always think it's a bit sad when you see an old chapel for sale, with the congregation obviously having dwindled to the point where it is no longer economic to carry on.

Here is one such case, the interior and fittings are fantastic but you can see that maintenance must have been getting too much for them:
