Celebrity Traitors winner Alan Carr, 49, is making headlines again – not for jokes, but for a bold property move. The Chatty Man star is selling his £2.5million West Sussex home to help finance his ambitious plans at Ayton Castle in Scotland, a red sandstone stately home he recently purchased for £3.25million.
The castle, surrounded by 160 acres of gardens and parkland, comes with 16 bedrooms and even a working miniature railway. Alan bought it outright after signing a seven-figure deal with Disney+ to document his efforts to transform it into a luxury retreat. But with the first wedding at the venue looming, he’s racing against time—and selling his own home to make the dream a reality. 🏃♂️✨
Alan’s West Sussex estate, shared with ex-husband Paul Drayton before their 2022 divorce, boasts four bedrooms, four bathrooms, a swimming pool, and a drawing room, described by agents as “a country estate of timeless distinction”. Its craftsmanship spans centuries, blending historic charm with modern comfort.
From comedy to castles, Alan Carr is proving that his ambitions reach far beyond the stage—and fans can’t wait to see if his Ayton Castle dreams really come true.
