History on your doorstep at Castle View

Superb views of a North East landmark await lucky buyers at Barratt's aptly-named Castle View development in Sunderland. This select development of just 27 new homes overlooks the historic 15th century gatehouse of Hylton Castle and will provide a selection of stylish two-bedroom apartments and three-bedroom townhouses, which offer modern living spaces at value-for-money prices.

Sales adviser Lyndsey Clavery said: "I think buyers will be bowled over by the view and the proximity to Hylton Castle. A number of homes here will face directly onto the castle, so it's an enviable location."

The two-bedroom apartments provide contemporary living accommodation at prices from just £124,995.

The Norbury townhouse has a flexible interior layout over three floors. The main living area is on the ground floor where a spacious living room with dining area has French doors leading out into the garden. The kitchen has contemporary fitted units, oven, hob and hood, and breakfasting area.

The first floor has two double bedrooms and family bathroom, whilst the second floor contains the master bedroom, complete with en suite and dressing area. It is priced from £189,500 and Barratt is also offering its Home Exchange service on selected properties.

All homes at Castle View come complete with energy-efficient central heating, high standards... of insulation, fitted kitchens and bathrooms, plus the NHBC Buildmark 10 year warranty.

The location, on the north west side of the city, has excellent transport links plus easy access to the A19. There is a wide range of local attractions close by including the 200-acre Hylton Dene, The Bridges shopping centre, National Glass Centre and the Winter Gardens.
