The farmstead sits in approximately 2.68 acres with a direct private driveway from Stokehall Lane, ensuring convenience for future residents. Notably, Crossbanks Farm comes with previous planning permissions that enhance its appeal.

The planning permissions are:
Cheshire East planning application number P03/1337 granted for the conversion of the main barn into four residential units (commencements of works on the barns was started 16th December 2008):

Left hand unit - 2217 sqft
Middle unit - 2412 sqft
Middle unit - 1959 sqft
Right hand unit - 2260 sqft

Planning permission was obtained to convert the barn into five smaller units but this planning has now lapsed, but could be reapplied for.

The farmhouse was granted planning to be converted into two units, but this planning has now lapsed. The size of each unit would be:

Front unit - 2174 sqft
Rear unit - 1950 sqft

Again this could be reapplied for.

Cheshire East planning application number 24/5212/clp for lawful development of 5 class Q buildings. Each unit size is as follows:

B1 - 4004 sqft
C1 - 656 sqft
C2 - 656 sqft
D1 - 1011 sqft
D2 - 1011 sqft

There is also a remarkable opportunity for developers to explore further potential for a larger, higher density scheme (subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents).

With its prime location near Nantwich and a wealth of development possibilities, Crossbanks Farm is a rare find in today’s market. Whether you are looking to invest in a residential project or seeking a unique property with significant potential, this site is not to be missed.
