Perched gracefully on the edge of a popular village, Castle View is a home that effortlessly combines historic charm, contemporary living, and breathtaking natural beauty. Formerly part of Lord Northampton’s Castle Ashby estate, this unique property was originally a cluster of traditional barns converted in the mid-1980s and is being offered for sale on the open market for the first time in 40 years. Its elevated position provides stunning 180-degree views across the Nene Valley, the lakes and parkland designed by Capability Brown, and all the way to Castle Ashby House—a sight that never fails to impress.

Perched gracefully on the edge of a popular village, Castle View is a home that effortlessly combines historic charm, contemporary living, and breathtaking natural beauty. Formerly part of Lord Northampton’s Castle Ashby estate, this unique property was originally a cluster of traditional barns converted in the mid-1980s and is being offered for sale on the open market for the first time in 40 years. Its elevated position provides stunning 180-degree views across the Nene Valley, the lakes and parkland designed by Capability Brown, and all the way to Castle Ashby House—a sight that never fails to impress.
The property’s design is both elegant and practical, with the majority of accommodation arranged on one level to provide spacious, flexible living. A four-panelled door with glazed side lights opens into an oak-floored reception hall, which gracefully divides the principal reception rooms from the bedroom wing. Off the hall, an inner corridor leads to the kitchen/breakfast room, where Shaker-style base and eye-level units, a Falcon range cooker with a five-ring gas hob, and Bosch integrated appliances create a functional and stylish culinary space. A glazed door opens onto a south-facing paved dining terrace, complete with an electric awning, perfect for alfresco dining while taking in the panoramic views.
Adjacent to the kitchen, the former dining room now serves as a family room, with an exposed stone feature wall and glazed doors leading to a garden room that frames the rolling southwest-facing garden and countryside beyond. At the heart of the home, the double-height vaulted sitting room impresses with a picture window overlooking the rear garden and a Clearview wood burner, providing a warm and inviting space for relaxing or entertaining
The bedroom wing offers a private retreat, featuring a principal suite with a double aspect, fitted cupboards, and a fully tiled en suite shower room. Two further double bedrooms, each with fitted wardrobes, share a stylish family bathroom and have direct access to the paved side garden. Practicality is considered throughout, with generous storage cupboards along the corridor, a utility room with access to the integral double garage, and all essential facilities discreetly housed.
Outside, the property enjoys a peaceful and elevated setting, offering the perfect environment to enjoy sunsets over the countryside, outdoor entertaining, and quiet reflection. Castle View is more than just a home; it is a lifestyle, combining historic significance, architectural interest, and exceptional views in one truly remarkable property.
A viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the unique charm, flexible accommodation, and stunning setting that Castle View has to offer. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history in a location that promises tranquility, beauty, and timeless appeal.
