A man’s house is his castle, just ask Darryl Kerrigan.
Throughout the country, Aussie homeowners have taken the saying at new heights and throwing the standard house for properties that are really traditional – medieval castles.
With drawbidges for driveways and turrets about terraces, these striking houses come directly from the set of Game of Thrones.

Watch the knight in glossy armor on the way through the hall.
The dining room is the ideal setting for a royal party.
His wife, Louise Martin-Versace, said the project took more than 20 years to build.
“It has been a love work,” she said.
“There was a drawing he did when he was five years old from a castle.”
“I said,” Let’s let it happen “.”
The details of the house are carefully manufactured by Mr. Versace.
Mrs. Martin-Versace said their grandchildren would like to visit the castle.
“If they were smaller, they would tell everyone” My Nonna possesses a castle, “she said.
“They would sit in the chair of the Big King and get a photo with a cup.”
The building is a lifelong dream achieved for owner Fabio Versace, depicted in his adapted armor.
The couple sells the house and wants to shrink while MR Versace suffers from multiple system atrophy (MSA), a rare neurodegenerative disorder.
The property is mentioned for $ 1.15-1.25 million.

Leumah Castle, Leumeah, NSW.
In the southwest of Sydney, Leumeah Castle is something of a local monument.
The extraordinary house in medieval style in the southwest of the city is complete with turrets, arrows, a canal and a canal and knightly decor.
While the owners rather tested the water – from the market, not their canal – they recently strengthened their attempt to sell with a new broker and new renovations.
There is a guidance of $ 1.5 million for the medieval country house.
It is perhaps the best lounge space in the country to watch The crown in.
The canal of the house offers extra defense in the case of a siege.
Re/Max Prestige -agent Devak Arutla said that most interested buyers saw real estate as an investment option, especially as an Airbnb.
“With the new airport next year … It will be a good tourist place,” he said.
According to Mr. Arutla, the castle also attracted interest as a pension home.
“If this life, in a castle, will be a good memory for the grandchildren.”
Mr. Arutla said that there have also been several questions about owner.

17 Forsythia Dr, Tamorine Mountain, Qld.
Seventeen Forsythia DR, Tambourine Mountain won the imagination of Queenslanders last week, as the most viewed ownership of the week on realestate.com.au.
Hidden in Tamorine Mount, west of Gold Coast, the house includes a paved tower that adds a dash of medieval influence.
It was built by his old owner and is located on a private block right next to the botanical gardens of Tamorine Mountain.
The agent said the inside could use some renovation.
Sales agent Louis Bartle, director of Bartle Real Estate said that 60 groups came through the building during the first open house.
“Buyers were a mix of people who wanted to renovate the property and live in it themselves and others in search of an opportunity to get to the market,” he said.
According to Mr Bartle, renovation would probably be necessary for the interior of the castle.
“It is quite charming from the outside and there is a lot of craftsmanship that went into it, but it is tired internally,” he said.
The value of the house is estimated by property.com.au at $ 946,000.
