Castle View Windsor
Castle View, Helston Lane, Windsor
Castle View is a new development by Castle Retirement
Living in the heart of Windsor’s residential community.
The 64 apartments for sale are of a contemporary
design for people over 55 years old who wish to
live independently. They are accompanied by great
community facilities to ensure residents can have privacy
when they wish, but can also enjoy the benefits of
socialising with like minded people.
The project has evolved from the very best thinking
from the UK and overseas senior living designs. The 1,
2 and 2 Bedroom Plus apartments are of a high quality
specification, most with balconies or outdoor space, and
each is designed on a single level.
Residents can enjoy a lounge and a café in which coffee,
tea and meals are served, and events run periodically.
This area, and the adjacent 24/7 reception are run by our
in-house team who ensure that all services and facilities
are operated to a high standard. On the fourth floor is the
residents’ sky lounge, bar and garden with spectacular
views over Windsor Castle and St. Leonards Hill. The roof
top lounge is available to all residents and can be used to
hold events or private functions.
A secure underground car park, with lifts to each floor,
ensures easy access to all the apartments and facilities.

Castle View Windsor
A note from our Sales Manager
I am often asked what life is like at Castle View
and these pictures give a flavour of the warmth
and liveliness of the community.
Our apartments are proving to be very popular,
with regular observations of ‘They are very
spacious’ or ‘Can I move in right now?’, but
what really makes Castle View special is its
tremendous communal facilities. Our Sky
Lounge with its glass walls provides truly
spectacular views of Windsor and the castle.
Whilst sipping a cool drink on the roof terrace,
with a sunset as your back drop, it feels like
having your own, rather exclusive private club.
Come and see for yourself. We organise regular
events for prospective buyers or, you can make
a private appointment at your leisure.
I would love to welcome you.

A note from Lisa our
Village Manager
No two days are the same at Castle View.
Our fish and chip Fridays, afternoon
teas, weekend happy hours and cocktail
nights ensure our residents get together
on a regular basis. It’s great to hear the
laughter around the village and see
how quickly all of our residents have
settled in. As the community grows and
friendships form, our events calendar
broadens as we listen to residents’ ideas
and suggestions. I have watched Castle
View grow from a building site into an
incredibly warm, friendly and homely
place to live and it’s fantastic to see
everyone so happy and relaxed with the
knowledge that there is always someone
around if needed.
