About "Downton Abbey"
Are you a Downton Abbey fan?
The abbey is actually Highclere Castle, an English country home, Briana Mowrey reports on hgtv.com.
Highclere, built in the Victorian era, is a working estate in the Hampshire countryside, Mowrey wrote.
A few fun facts about the castle:

-- It's huge: The estate has more than 30,000 square feet of living space, and the property includes 5,000 acres;
-- It's expensive: It's valued at more than $240,000,000.
