‘Hogwarts’ to become luxury apartments and townhouses

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is being converted into luxury apartments and townhouses.

Well, a location Royal Connaught Park, in Hertfordshire, whose enormous gothic dining room featured as Hogwarts’ Great Hall in the first three Harry Potter films is going to be open to muggles with fat chequebooks who will to pay from £494,000 up to £2.895 million for former classrooms and a headmasters house in what was once the Royal Masonic School for Boys.

It was bought in 1998 by Comer Homes, one of Liam and Brian Comer’s portfolio of property companies, who started developing it as a top-of-the-range residential complex in 2009.

In real life, without the movie magic, the elaborate Victorian-style dining room has dark gothic beams and a shiny parquet floor that would bring a tear to any mother superior’s eye. This room is, for now remaining as common space and sits above the state-of-the-art leisure centre.

The Grade II listed building which is set in a 100 acres of parkland will comprise the estate.

The fit-out is tasteful and sleek but lacks stone walls hiding secrets and grand moving staircases.

Bet the Halloween decorations will be pretty spooktacular though.
