Description
Imagine waking up in a bright, character-filled flat, sunlight streaming through period windows as the city quietly wakes in the distance. You sip your morning coffee looking out over lush gardens — but you didn’t mow the lawn. You never have to.
You stroll five minutes to the gym, the café, or your office. Your teens can walk to sixth form or meet up with their friends, and best of all? They want to bring their friends home. You always know where they are, and you’re the parent with the “cool” house.
On weekends, Castle Park is your backyard. Long walks, picnics, spontaneous meet-ups — all just steps from your front door. Then you return to your peaceful, gated community, where everything is secure, maintained, and effortlessly managed. Evening BBQ or late night chats putting the world to right in your own private patio.
No DIY lists. No surprise costs. No driving.
Just more space, more ease, more life.

The different architectural styles can be appreciated from East Hill and from within the private grounds. Now called Hillsleigh Mews, the development consists of an upper and lower estate combining a Mews block with upper houses and apartments that surround an attractive privately gated communal garden currently maintained by the management company.
