Description

Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman

The phrase rare opportunity is often used by estate agents and it could be argued over used. So what words do I have for this amazing 4.14 acre development site (with additional paddock providing a total of 5.622 acre) with an already commenced works detailed building consent for a grand design one off dream home? Rare opportunity doesn’t come close! It’s actually a chance to buy a life changing building plot without parallel or comparison in this postcode of Cheshire, there is literally no other like it presently for sale.

All details can be found on the Cheshire West Planning Portal under the reference 22/03072/FUL . 39 documents detail the planning that has been granted for the demolition of existing house, garage and outbuilding, erection of detached dwelling, garage and ancillary outbuilding, creation of new access and gates. Subsequent to the planning being granted, the original dwelling, Well House Farm was demolished, footings were placed and works commenced thereby activating the granted planning consent.

It was at this point that the build process was stopped and herein lies the opportunity for the new owner of the site to mastermind the build to their own specification and taste. And if built out to the designs already passed, this will become one of the finest houses in this part of Cheshire offering incredible space, contemporary design and a magnificent mix of scale, practicality and style.

The amount of space when complete will be substantial and the aesthetics fantastic. As per the plans passed the main house will be six bedrooms, six bathrooms and six receptions with a stunning reception hallways and large luxurious kitchen. The total size being 6237 square feet. In addition, there is the chance to construct a detached 777 square feet office gym games room, consent for beautiful treble garage workshop store building and also notable is that there is approval for new additional access with gates. Strong eco credentials are embedded within the design and philosophy of the plans.

The location is outstanding, being tranquil and beautiful and located just three miles from the Georgian village of Tarporley and eight miles from Chester City Centre. The site location is peaceful and the size extends to 4.14 acres and with an additional 1.5 acre field opposite, this allows for horses, ponies, donkeys or other livestock if required. Alternatively it could simply be used as land which provides privacy and establishment plus of course this site size a key part of creating a high end value once the build is complete.

This is a once in a life time opportunity and I would be delighted to discuss with you personally.
