Sporting activities are also well catered for with several golf courses locally including Carden Park, Aldersey Green and Wrexham Golf Club together with sports clubs in the nearby villages of Malpas & Tattenhall. For the equestrian interests there is racing at the nearby Bangor-on-Dee and Chester and locally a network of country lanes for hacking out directly from the property.

Description

On 22 June 2026 Planning Application No. 26/01418/PDQ was approved for the conversion of the traditional & modern farm buildings buildings into 3x residential (C3) dwellings.

Pursa Farm Barns offers an inviting opportunity to create 3 bespoke dwellings from an attractive range of traditional Cheshire Brick barns with attached modern farm buildings. The 3 properties will ultimately have an open aspect across the fields to the south, being south facing and taking full advantage of the orientation.

Previously there was consent for the traditional range to be converted into 2x barn conversions and then the modern farm buildings into 2x barn conversions, with a driftway in between the two to allow access to the rear. It is conceivable that the current plans could be altered to have, say 2, larger detached dwellings, one in the traditional range, one in the modern farm buildings, with either a shared courtyard at the front or if one preferred, a more delineated boundary. Furthermore, there is of scope to create 1 large detached barn conversion with associated outbuildings, garaging or leisure facilities. Naturally, one would need to obtain the relevant permissions to achieve this.
