A LUXURY Cheshire holiday park in the shadow of two historic castles hit the market.
Castle View Rural Retreats has been listed for sale by Larch Property, priced at £4.5 million.
Comprised of a five-bedroom farmhouse, seven converted barns and an equestrian centre, the property offers views of both 800-year-old Beeston Castle and the comparatively modern Peckforton Castle.
“An exceptionally well presented rental business with seven units producing substantial income, five-bedroom farmhouse, exemplary equestrian facilities with outstanding views of Peckforton and Beeston castles, all set in about 14.3 acres,” reads the listing.
The property is located around four miles southwest of Tarporley, just a stone's throw from Beeston Castle.
The current owner has converted the former barns into a rental/letting business, with a range of one to three-bedroom units, all complete with gardens and parking spaces.
“This very successful business nets a significant income,” the listing adds.
There is then the main house – Lower Rock Farm – which is a former Peckforton Estate farmhouse.
It is surrounded by well-maintained gardens and paddock land, including two lakes and a timber pod.
The listing states: “The house is presented to an exceptional standard, with the current owners having undertaken a painstaking and thorough updating scheme, with a no expense spared mantra evident both to the internal fittings but also to the entire grounds.”
An American-style barn houses the principal stable block, featuring 10 Monarch stables, three wash bays, a kitchen, toilets, tack room.
There is also the more traditional barn which houses an isolation stable and storage space as well as an outdoor arena.
The estate agents, Larch Property, note that there is a public footpath running through the property and that an application has been submitted for disabled accessible to the lettable units.
Potential buyers must also note that sporting rights are retained by Lord Tollemache’s estate.
The estate must also grant written consent before any alterations or developments.
