4 bedroom house

**FOR SALE BY INFORMAL TENDER 12 NOON 20TH SEPT** A residential development opportunity, with outline planning approval for two dwellings, along with the existing house, within 0.6 of acre

Situation
Brooklyn sits in a most appealing and sought-after residential setting. Kelsall Village is within a short stroll, offering a broad range of local amenities, including a butcher’s, Co-operative store, gastropub, coffee shop, pharmacy, hairdressers, church and medical centre. Nearby Tarporley and Chester provide a more comprehensive offering.

Exceptional local state schooling includes Kelsall Primary School (within 500m) and Tarporley High School, both deemed “outstanding” by Ofsted. The commercial centres of the Northwest are readily accessible via road, whilst Chester Station offers a direct rail service to London Euston within 2 hours.

The area is well-known for its rural pursuits, with Delamere Forest nearby offering walking, riding and horse-riding opportunities, and the nearby Kelsall Hill Equestrian Centre offering over 350 acres of riding opportunities; an equine oasis in the heart of beautiful Cheshire.

The Property
The site extends to approximately 0.6 of an acre, incorporating 0.05 of an acre located to the east of the development site, both shown edged red within these particulars. The site consists of a detached four bedroom dwelling within established and private grounds. The land is level and contained within mature tree and hedge margins.

Access to the site is directly off Church Street, on the western boundary of the site.

Planning
Outline planning permission was granted on the 14th June 2022 under Application No: 21/00832/OUT. The approval is for “Erection of two detached dwellings and a replacement garage (outline application with access).” Details of the appearance, landscaping, layout, and scale, (hereinafter called "the reserved matters") shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority before any development is commenced and thereafter the development shall only be carried out in accordance with the details as approved. Application for approval of the reserved matters shall be made to the Local Planning Authority before the expiration of three years from the date of this permission and thereafter the development shall only be carried out in accordance with the details as approved.

Details of Development
The planning permission provides for two detached dwellings on the main part of the site to the east of the existing dwelling. These dwellings would be arranged facing the proposed driveway and have good sized south facing rear gardens. The proposed properties are detached, shown on the indicative layout to provide a typical sized four-bedroom family dwelling, with garaging as typically seen elsewhere in the locality.

The existing dwelling could be retained and refurbished but could equally be replaced with a larger dwelling, subject to the necessary planning consents. The garage associated with the existing dwelling would be demolished and re-sited.

The access road would be a private drive with ‘shared surface’ rather than full pavements. The existing dwelling would also continue to be served from this point. The vehicular access point would be slightly repositioned and made perpendicular to Church Street in order to improve visibility. The boundary treatment on Church Street would be lowered, also improving the visibility here and improving the relationship of the existing dwelling to the street scene.

Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL)
The development approved by this permission may be liable to a Community Infrastructure Levy, which is payable after development begins. CIL rate per square metre for planning permissions granted is £81.51, in Zone 1, as defined by CWAC. The purchaser is liable for the CIL payment.

Services
Interested parties must make their own enquiries with regards to the availability and connections to mains services. It is understood that Brooklyn is currently served by all mains services, but the capacity of such existing services is unknown.

Method of Sale
The site is offered for informal tender and offers are invited on an unconditional basis. Offers must be submitted on an FG offer form to include proof of funds.
