Property description

Opportunities such as this, become less and less frequent these days. However, this is the perfect moment to develop what is already a sizeable 3 storey farmhouse with acreage into a development project, subject to planning consent.In addition to The Hollies itself, the land abuts Back Lane and it may be possible to create a building plot here, whilst still retaining enough acreage with the farmhouse itself. However, the gravel driveway effectively forms a natural division as it leads down to a courtyard with a range of outbuildings, including a derelict 2 storey cottage that is crying out to be incorporated with the existing detached stable to form a modern detached dwelling, subject to planning consent. This building would have its own gated access to a paddock, ideal for those with horses, especially considering that a hay barn and former milking parlour are also within the courtyard.Then of course, there is the setting...and boy, rural living doesn't get much better than this! There are stunning views over rolling countryside, yet without being isolated as there are neighbouring properties too.It is located close to the Cheshire/ Welsh/Shropshire borders and whilst enjoying a positively rural location, it is well placed for access to larger towns including Whitchurch, Chester, Malpas, Wrexham, Manchester and Liverpool.
