Description
Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman
If you are a developer, speculator or investor, looking to get on to your next project, without the often tiresome and long process of gaining planning consent, this superb development site should be of very significant interest.
Under the guidance of renowned architect and planning expert Sarah Aspinall of Beeston Aspinall Architects, Cheshire West Planning Reference 19/03841/FUL details the full and approved application which is deemed to have commenced works as confirmed by CWAC, allowing works to start straight away on the barns. All enquiries on this will be addressed in the usual conveyancing process.
As per the plans drawn up the four barns provide a combined square metreage of all four buildings adding up to 509.8 square metres, this being 5468 sq ft.
The breakdown of this is;
Barn one, plot one 113.7 square metres
Barn one, plot two 110.9 square metres
Barn two, plot three 148.2 square metres
Barn two, plot four 137 square metres
One of the joys of selling houses in this part of Cheshire is the chance to get to know well the different hamlets, villages and towns. By the nature of its rural character and small number of houses, trips to Oldcastle are relatively rare. It is though always a real joy to enjoy this beautiful part of Cheshire – it is tranquil, pretty and unspoilt.
Oldcastle is located in England but is positioned on the rural boundary straddling the England Wales border, with parts of the surrounding countryside offering views of the nearby Welsh hills. The lane is tranquil so all these factors combined make this a very special location.
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.

The highly renowned golf course at Carden Park Hotel / Golf Club is just 6.5 miles distant.
