Castle Village is set within thirty acres of pastures and woodlands bordering National Trust land and Berkhamsted Golf Course. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and the Japanese garden has been restored with the addition of Maples, Great Monkey Puzzle Trees, Japonicas, Oriental Rhododendrons and Magnolias. At the heart of the village is a renovated and refurbished Grade 11 listed mansion, first built in the early 1900‘s. Within the Mansion House Country Club there is a restaurant, meeting hall, bar, library, kiosk, conservatory and a daily staffed medical centre.

With over a 150 homes including cottages, bungalows and apartments, the choice is wide and varied at Castle Village. The medical centre within the Mansion House is staffed by friendly, qualified nursing staff and this is supplemented by a doctor‘s surgery. Other healthcare considerations include a prescription service arranged with a local chemist and a home cleaning and bed linen service. Berkhamsted itself is a very popular market town and it was here that William the Conqueror took the throne of England from the assembled Saxon nobles in 1066. Little now remains of the Norman castle on the banks of the River Bulbourne where Chaucer, Thomas Becket and the entire court of Henry VIII stayed at different times.

Berkhamsted is situated just off the A41 and it is here that William of Normandy took the English surrender before returning to London (32 miles). The M25 (Junction 20) is eleven miles. Berkhamsted Station is just off the town centre and the Grand Union Canal also passes through the town.
