Castle View for Barratt buyers

Barratt is opening its doors this month to a select little development of just 27 properties offering superb views of Sunderland’s second oldest building. Aptly named Castle View the development is located in the regeneration area of Hylton Castle on the site of the former health centre which has relocated to a new and modern Primary Care Trust Centre just around the corner.

The development overlooks the distinctive and highly decorative gatehouse-tower of Hylton Castle which was built by the wealthy Sir William Hylton, shortly before 1400. Thanks to community involvement the castle and the nearby 200-acre Hylton Dene are now an attractive place for walking and leisure.

Among the properties to be built at Castle View are 3 bedroom, 3-storey Norbury designs plus 2 bedroom apartments in a range of styles including Falkirk, Ullswater and Buttermere styles.

The Norbury is one of Barratt’s top-selling family homes thanks to its versatility. The extra rooms can be used as a playroom, a study or even a small fitness room and will grow with a family’s needs and lifestyle requirements.

The main living area is on the ground floor and features a spacious lounge with dining area to seat six people and French doors leading on to the back garden. The fitted kitchen has a breakfast area and there is a wc and two handy storage cupboards on this floor.

The first floor features two double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, served by a family bathroom. The second floor is occupied by the master bedroom suite, which benefits from a walk-in wardrobe and en suite shower room.

Homebuyers who reserve early in the build programme can benefit from pre-construction prices. First-time buyers may get help with their deposit while move-up buyers might take advantage of Barratt’s free Home Exchange Service. Other incentives could also be available.

Castle View is situated on the north west side of Sunderland with easy access to the A19 offering fast network links to Newcastle, South Tyneside, Teesside and Yorkshire.
