DESCRIPTION

The sale of the Buildings at Wimboldsley Hall brings to the market an exceptional development opportunity. Originally forming part of the Verdin Estate and dating back to the late 19th century, Wimboldsley Hall was designed as a model dairy farm, and comprises a handsome period farmhouse to the rear of which is a spectacular range of traditional buildings forming an attractive courtyard arranged around a central lawn. The buildings benefit from being set well back from the A530 Middlewich to Nantwich road and adjoins open countryside in what can be likened to a parkland setting.

LOCATION

The Buildings at Wimboldsley Hall are situated in the rural parish of Wimboldsley being convenient for the nearby villages of Church Minshull & Warmingham. The larger centres of Middlewich and the market town of Nantwich are 3.5 and 7.5 miles respectively offering a comprehensive range of services with high street banks, shops, supermarkets, doctors’ surgeries and vererinary practices. Wimboldsley Hall occupies a rural setting adjoining open countryside between Middlewich and Nantwich to the West of the A530 and West Coast railway line.

Schooling in the area is well-provided for with a primary school in Wimboldsley and state secondary schools in Middlewich & Nantwich. For those seeking private education there is The Grange at Hartford, Cransley School at Great Budworth and Terra Nova beyond Holmes Chapel. On the recreational front there are football, rugby and cricket clubs in Middlewich and Nantwich, walking along the River Weaver and Shropshire Union Canal and from Wimboldsley Hall direct access onto a public footpath which crosses the adjoining fields. Golf courses locally include Sandbach, Sandiway & Delamere and a motor racing circuit at Oulton Park near Little Budworth. For the equestrian enthusiasts there is the nearby Newfield Farm equestrian centre complemented by Southview at Wettenhall.

COMMUNICATIONS

Junction 18 on the M6 motorway is 6.5 miles distant allowing for ease of travel to Liverpool, Warrington, Manchester, The Potteries and Birmingham. For travel to London there is a 1 hr 35 mins inter-city service from Crewe Station which is 5.5 miles distant and for international travel, Manchester Airport is 23 miles distant.
