The current owner has converted the former traditional barns into exemplar rental/letting business, whilst maintaining the privacy of the farmhouse, done by clever design and aided by the two electrically gated entrances.

The website is called castleviewruralretreats were you will see lots of information and pictures of the high specification that each unit displays.

This very successful business, nets a significant income (figures to be released to interested parties only) with seven lettable units managed by 53degreesproperty.com.

The units range from one to three bedrooms, all having gardens and two parking spaces.

THE HOUSE
Lower Rock Farm is an extremely impressive and attractive former Peckforton Estate farmhouse, ring fenced by well-maintained gardens and paddock land.

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.

Internally the house has generously proportioned rooms which have been beautifully decorated, with numerous period features that blend seamlessly with the modern day fittings. The layout is ideal for modern family living. The house enjoys a breath-taking location with south and easterly views of both Peckforton and Beeston Castles along with the Cheshire countryside.

The house is within daily reach of Manchester, Liverpool and Crewe mainline train station offering a regular service to London Euston (from 1 hour and 34 minutes). The Cathedral City of Chester, a Heritage City with Roman and Tudor origins, has a great array of shops, notable schools including Kings & Queens School, an expanding university and sporting facilities.

GARDENS & GROUNDS
The gardens are a real feature with manicured level lawns, encompassed by well stocked herbaceous borders. The gardens wrap around three elevations with the principal lawns facing south and eastly. The garden room enjoys castle views with a wide stone terrace abutting the house. A gate leads from the formal lawns to an orchard area then onto a paddock where the timber stables lie. Behind the paddock land to the east is a small lake with a timber pod overlooking with wooden dell in the corner of this tranquil area. There is also a wide stone terrace to the rear of the house which overlooks the gravelled area with parking for numerous cars. Also to the rear is a wonderful lake with central island and duck house.

THE EQUESTRIAN FACILITIES
The incredible equestrian facilities are made up of a timber American style barn which contains the principal stable block, housing an exceptional range of ten Monarch stables, all with rubber floors, complete with 3 wash bays with hot shower facilities and wiring for solariums. There is also a well equipped kitchen, WC, secure tack room and post and rail 60 x 20m manege.

Adjacent to the stable yard is a large traditional barn housing an isolation stable/store, store room, WC and utility room. There is a large area for storage of hay/bedding and machinery. There is a separate timber stable block housing two stables, feed store & small field shelter, located in a paddock. The paddock land is well maintained with newly erected fencing and water to most paddocks. The majority of the paddocks are accessible via the tarmacdum or a hard core central spine road ideal for the winter months.
