THE BARNS, FOX HILL FARM, THE RIDGEWAY, , WA6 6XF WA6 6XF

Located in a truly beautiful semi-rural location in amongst wonderful countryside yet surprisingly close to an extensive road, rail and air network - two barns with the benefit of detailed planning permission for the conversion into residential dwellings set in grounds of 0.615 acres and with the exciting potential to acquire up to a further 11.938 acres. Offered for sale with no ongoing chain.

The barns at Fox Hill Farm are a rare and welcome addition to the market. They form part of the property presently known as Fox Hill Farm which in turn was originally part of the Fox Hill Estate. The buildings have striking character and strong aesthetic appeal whilst the quality of the position and location is of a very high order with excellent views and some of the finest walks that the county has to offer on the door step.

There are two barns that are being offered for sale with the benefit of detailed planning permission for conversion into independent residential dwellings. The application was made via Cheshire West and Planning Department reference 14/01540/FUL and 14/01537/FUL and permissions were granted on 18 November 2014. As presently configured, one of the units is a cottage that was originally ancillary to the house whilst the second is a barn used for more general purposes and agricultural store utilisation.

One of the beauties of the development opportunity is how well the barn is split from the principal dwelling. They have access over their own driveway and as the enclosed land plan will show there is the option to buy additional land surrounding with the overall acreage available up to 12.553 acres. More details of the property split will be found below.

The planning permission granted has approval for the conversion of two dwellings with associated stabling and garaging. As part of the process to obtain planning permission there have been ecologist surveys, topographical reports, building regulations approval and architect's drawings as submitted to the planners. Details of the planning permission are included within this brochure and all other relevant details can be found on the Cheshire West and Chester Council website.

The sale contract is being drawn up and overseen by Messrs Hibberts LLP in and it will include various responsibilities for the purchaser to fill in regards to defining boundaries and services including the requirement to add a new septic tank. Interested parties who wish to see the contract are encouraged to contact Hibberts LLP or get a copy via the selling agents.

The rareness of the opportunity cannot be overstated and significant levels of interest are anticipated.

Whilst appearing to be almost completely rural with wonderful walks and fantastic views surrounding, the barns are surprisingly well located for day to day commuting and travelling purposes.
