Property description
The typical Cheshire barn, measuring 100ft x 20ft with oak 'A' frames throughout, was originally converted into Giantswood Country Club with first a massive extension housing three international sized squash courts, and later with another extension having weight training and other facilities on the ground floor and a forty seating dining room above.
Since acquiring the property, the current owners have operated their own machine tool business in two of the squash courts by removing the timber floors and installing a massive roller shutter door. A large capacity three phase electricity supply was also installed.
The second extension comprising of the gym and dining facilities was converted into six bedrooms and three bathrooms for their large family.
The country club carpark was originally laid with hardcore to accommodate around fifty vehicles, but thereafter roughly 50 percent was laid to lawn for family recreation.
Most of the old barn has been well renovated and provided very spacious family living, but the area under the 40 foot lounge is still undeveloped.
This vast property amounting to some 6,300 sq. ft has incredible unique facilities for running a business from home, and endless possibilities.
