8 bedroom house

DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY WITH PLANNING PERMISSION GRANTED - attractive range of traditional buildings with consent to convert into six units, occupying an edge of village surrounded by open countryside

Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman

This a great site for an ambitious developer looking to build out a unique one off site in a location that is ideal for access to Chester City Centre, whilst enjoying the benefit of having fields to three sides.

The current owners have gone through a detailed and thoughtful planning application. Full details can be found on the Cheshire West and Chester planning portal under application number 20/00062/FUL (Permission granted 27th November 2020)

The planning consent permits the conversion of the existing redundant farm buildings plus the original farmhouse into six residential units, each with a garage for at least one car plus parking spaces for two vehicles. The end result will be six individual homes in a unique setting within a location that has historically been a very popular one with good rates of saleability.

The approved plans provide for a contemporary and sympathetic conversion of the buildings, keeping the appearance and layout relatively untouched, being arranged around an attractive communal courtyard.

Internally, the units will cater for modern day living with excellent ground floor layouts whilst enjoying an open aspect to the rear across fields and countryside, with Tarvin and Great Barrow Churches visible from different parts of the site. All units have the benefit of open plan kitchens with dining and sitting areas plus an additional reception room.

The gardens to the units will comprise of terrace / patio areas with formal lawns. There is also additional paddock available from the current owner if required at an additional price.

For a personal description of the property or to arrange a viewing, please contact myself or a member of the team at the Tarporley office.
