PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Nestled into the side of Peckforton Hill, Castle View exemplifies period charm, sympathetically extended by its current owners to provide versatile accommodation in keeping with the demands of modern living.

Semi-detached only on a small section of the original 1880's cottage the property has been re-orientated to take in the breath-taking views across to Beeston Castle.

Independent parking and a detached garage sit at the edge of the plot with an impressively well-maintained garden sitting between this and the house.

Upon entering the property through a beautiful timber framed porch, a spacious entrance hall sits centrally, splitting the ground floor accommodation and hosting the Oak staircase which provides access to the first floor. The dual aspect living room forms part of the extended section of the house with an open airy feel whilst retaining its period appeal by virtue of its sandstone walls and exposed timber. Views across the garden can be taken through the full height glazed doors whilst snapshots of the view can be enjoyed from various vantage points. As an additional focal point, a broad fireplace houses a wood burning stove next to the doorway leading to the study. The dining room and kitchen sit within the footprint of the original property with the former being of an impressive scale with another fireplace providing texture and warmth.

The kitchen, fitted by Brownlow Furniture hosts a range of high-end fixtures and fittings including a Quooker tap, and a substantial fitted larder cupboard and the conservatory positioned next to the kitchen is commonly used as an additional dining space or morning room by the current owners. Concluding the ground floor accommodation is the inner hall which gives way to the utility room, store and W.C.

The elevation afforded by the first floor allows for the view to become as much a part of the property as the bricks and mortar. Views are particularly impressive from the master bedroom with a Juliet balcony also overlooking the garden and with a skilfully designed, fixed, walkaround bedhead providing a dressing area. The large en-suite is positioned off the bedroom and with its wet room design the master suite crowns the home both physically and metaphorically. The second bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room whilst the two further bedrooms continue to impress with views in various directions both being serviced by the family bathroom.

Externally, the orientation of the house is critical to its success in providing a 'detached feel' whilst still being attached across one of its smallest elevations. The parking and garage are positioned to the edge of the plot drawing the regularly used area of ingress and egress away from the neighbours and into the privacy of the defined gardens. A small area of garden sits to what was previously the front of the house framing the wonderful, original white door.

Horsley Lane is a location within which properties rarely come to the market and with the no through road this quiet part of Beeston could become your next home.
