Some magical homes are naturally warm and inviting. Others… not so much. We’ve channelled our inner estate agents to put a positive, sellable spin on even the spookiest, darkest dwellings in the wizarding world.

The Shrieking Shack

Harry's floating head by the shrieking Shack scares off Malfoy and his friends.

Own a part of Hogsmeade history with the legendary Shrieking Shack. Don’t let the name put you off… Once dubbed the most haunted building in Britain, we have been assured that it contains no traces of Dark magic whatsoever, and all werewolf hair has been removed. Within a stone’s throw of the popular Hogsmeade amenities (we highly recommend The Three Broomsticks for the best Butterbeer in Britain) it even has direct access to Hogwarts School.* Oozing with rustic charm, The Shrieking Shack is a renovator’s dream. Could you be the person who takes this shack from haunted to heavenly?

*A member of our team will gladly meet you with protective equipment at the Whomping Willow should you choose to access the building this way.

The Chamber of Secrets

Harry in the Chamber of Secrets

This self-contained apartment has been perfectly preserved for over a thousand years, deep beneath the famous Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Exclusively commissioned by a Hogwarts founder, it was once thought to exist only in legends. Upon entering, you’ll see why. The huge main chamber is breathtaking; decorated in a grand, classical style, the intricate serpentine stone-carvings adorning the pillars are works of art. The central statue of Salazar Slytherin makes for an attractive centrepiece for any party.

Speaking of parties, the thick stone walls render the chamber completely soundproof and cool, even in the summer heatwaves. Not to mention the fun entrance slide through the water pipes, which will be a hit for any children coming to visit. Enemy of the heir or not - we suggest you snap this one up!

Malfoy Manor

B7 MalfoyManor Colour 04JW merged

This handsome manor house, nestled among acres of beautiful parkland in Wiltshire, has been a crown jewel of the English countryside for centuries. The sumptuous hallway leads to a huge, ornately decorated drawing room. With a 30-foot-high ceiling, an impressive marble fireplace, and a recently restored crystal chandelier, the room can easily fit 25 people around a table, making it perfect for hosting decadent dinner parties... Or committee meetings.

The manor boasts dozens of beautifully adorned rooms, and a generous, versatile cellar, perfect for storing precious artefacts away from sunlight. The meticulously cultivated gardens play host to stunning albino peacocks that roam the elegant grounds; they look almost as proud as you will if you make this your home! For viewings: wizards from all-magic families are preferred, but please contact one of our agents who will be happy to negotiate with you for the right price.

Aragog's Lair

Built deep within the heart of the Forbidden Forest, this family-sized home is the perfect quiet haven, just far enough away from the hustle and bustle of Hogwarts. Made from completely organic materials, you’re sure to have a deep night’s rest under the shelter of the trees here.

However, if you are a night-owl, the view is spectacular. The lovingly crafted hollow creates a natural clearing in the forest’s canopy, so you’ll be able to star-gaze into the early hours. Nature-lovers: this dwelling should reel you in! For those with arachnophobia, we can suggest some alternative woodland retreats.

Number twelve, Grimmauld Place

Members of the Order of the Phoenix stand outside Grimmauld Place.

A short commute to the Ministry of Magic and King’s Cross Station, this grand town house is perfect for those who want to be in the middle of the action but hidden from Muggle detection.

While seemingly narrow from the outside, the house extends in surprising ways. Some of the spacious bedrooms are even big enough to house a fully-grown Hippogriff.

Once home to the famous Black family, this property has played host to a glittering array of celebrated wizards, including Albus Dumbledore and Harry Potter. Recently decontaminated, it has virtually no pest problems* or damp. All sinister portraits have been removed or covered so that only the Black family tapestry has remained, adding much historical value to the property. If you’re looking for a city base with a story to tell, this is a great choice!

*If you do come across a Puffskein, feel free to keep it as a pet.

The Riddle House

Overlooking the charming chocolate-box village of Little Hangleton, this impressive manor house strikes a grand, stately silhouette on the rural skyline. We won’t deny that this property has a chequered past. However, it’s been decades since anyone died there, and once you discover the comfortable rooms and attractive garden, you’ll wonder why anyone called it “creepy”. Imagine the fireside stories you could tell your guests with such a fascinating history.

If you need further convincing, a lovely little church and a pub are just a short stroll down the hill, where you’re sure to receive a warm welcome from the Muggle community. At a heavily reduced price, it would be a grave error to miss out on this one.

The Cave

A private recess on a dramatic coastline; this is not your typical seaside holiday home. If you’re looking to swap the fish and chips and candy floss for an invigorating dose of salty sea air, this cryptic cave is for you.

Difficult to access by foot, it’s an ideal base for a reclusive adventurer: the treacherous cliff topd descent will certainly keep you on your toes. Within, the cave has plenty of space, and fantastic acoustics. The central feature is a huge, ethereal-looking lake, which you can peacefully row across when you need some undisturbed inspiration.* If you’re looking for a true statement home, then this cave is to die for.

*We advise that you bring your own bottled water and a means of fire with you, as this is quite a remote location.
