Tinkers Castle in Seisdon, between Wolverhampton and Bridgnorth, has hit the market for offers in the region of £750,000 with Berriman Eaton estate agents.

The property's name is believed to come from the original Tinkers (metalworkers) who occupied a cave as their home on the "stunning sandstone escarpment". This now forms a lower-level boiler room within the turreted house above.
