Rowton Court Apartments are built from within the original stables and additions have been built on, in keeping with all the style of the original ideas. The original site dates back to the 17^th century and after the 2^nd World war was converted into a site for a blind school. The Castle Hotel were the classrooms, the Apartment block were the dormitories and there was an open air swimming pool which later became a Country Club.

During 1977/1980, Rowton Court was redeveloped into twenty-seven self-contained Apartments, ranging in size and character. Almost all of the apartments have superb panoramic views into the countryside and grounds that extend to about two acres. All in all, the Boards of Directors take care of the burden of most of the responsibility from each company.

Rowton Court Apartments boast what is probably reputed to be the best of facilities for such a style of living. The Gardens and Grounds are superb, well maintained and landscaped to visual beauty. All the apartments have their own garage, together with additional car parking for guests.

There is a full size Tennis Court as well as a Barbecue Area for the exclusive use or residents. For style and comfort whilst relaxing outside, there is a patio area with suitable seating and tables where one can relax in peaceful and restful surroundings. Within seconds a walk to the fully equipped Castle Country Club, with discounted fees available for residents as well as Rowton Castle Hotel with a myriad of social and sporting occasions.

This photo is of a piece of parchment that was found in a loft space when renovating the old coach house and stable block that formed part of five apartments identified in the main photos with white walls. This reflects the thoughts about life at Rowton in 1839 and not much has changed in nearly 200 years since the Earl of Shaftsbury visited Rowton all those years ago.
