Description

An exciting opportunity to purchase land extending to approximately 2.77 acres and accommodating two former agricultural buildings with outline planning permission for conversion into residential use with detached garages.

The site forms part of Quaint Farm, positioned to the west of Welsh Road. It lies within open countryside, surrounded by agricultural land, giving the area a distinctly rural character.

Planning permission (ref. 17/03112/FUL) has been granted for the conversion of the two former agricultural barns, located to the rear of Quaint Farm, into two dwellings. Rostons understands, subject to conditions, all pre-commencement conditions have been discharged and the conversion works are currently in progress.

Additional permission (ref. 24/00919/FUL) has been approved for the creation of a new vehicular access and driveway further along Welsh Road, providing access to the site.

Further details relating to planning can be found under reference 24/00923/S73 via Cheshire West and Chester Council.
