Flat Lane, Kelsall

Located in the heart of Kelsall village - a prime village centre site extending in total to circa 25.86 acres with enormous development potential (subject to planning consents being granted)

Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman

This is a hugely significant development opportunity within the centre of Kelsall village. The rarity of the buying opportunity cannot be overstated and I anticipate there will be substantial interest in this remarkable and most interesting site.

The site extends in total to circa 25.86 acres. Nearly 24 acres of this is an agricultural large grassed field, relatively flat with a gentle downwards slope. There are excellent long range views towards Chester and North Wales. Interested parties will note there is already residential development to the north adjoining Chester Road, on the opposite side of Flat Lane and towards the southern end of the site.

At the front of the site located at the junction of Chester Road and Flat Lane there is a charming and most appealing historical Grade II Listed house of circa 2000 square feet (excluding cellar measurements). The farm buildings include traditional brick and slate barns and modern portal framed structures, centred on a farmyard.

It should be noted that all future development works would be subject to gaining the relevant permissions from Cheshire West and Chester Council.

For a personal description of the property or to arrange a viewing, please contact myself or a member of the team at the Tarporley office.

Location

Kelsall is an extremely popular semi-rural Cheshire village that combines a central location, excellent day-to-day amenities and a superb position amidst some of Cheshire's most picturesque countryside.

Within the village there is a large Co-operative convenience store, a renowned village butcher, pharmacist, ladies hairdresser and hugely popular coffee shop. More over there is an active community hall, Doctors surgery, Vets practice, well attended Parish Church and Methodist chapel.

Recreationally Kelsall features tennis courts, playing fields with specialist children's play area and a wonderful collection of walking routes in the surrounding countryside, especially the well-known sandstone trail. The area as a whole has access to glorious countryside and places of significant interest that include ancient castles, boating facilities on nearby canals and the outstanding Delamere Forest.

There are a number of pubs in the village, but worthy of particular attention is that in recent times Brunning & Price have completed their full refurbishment of the pub in the centre of the village, The Morris Dancer. This outstanding public house/restaurant has already been met with wide acclaim and is worthy of inspection along with The Boot Inn, famous to all locals for the amazing homemade pies!

For those with educational needs, Kelsall has an outstanding Ofsted rated primary school on Flat Lane, which in turn feeds into the nearby outstanding Ofsted rated Tarporley High School. There are other well regarded schools in the villages surrounding including Kings & Queens of Chester, Abbeygate and The Grange.

Anyone needing to commute will find great transport links to the M56, M6 and M53. The A49, A51 and A55 all link to key areas of commerce and interest, including Liverpool, Manchester, Warrington, Wrexham, and nearby Chester. Rail services from nearby village stations including Delamere and Hartford allow further access to the North West. Two international airports can be located within 45 minutes drive - Liverpool John Lennon International Airport and Manchester International Airport.

Directions

Leaving Tarporley along the High Street in the direction of Chester, as you come to the edge of the village having passed Forest Road on your right, take the next right turn onto Utkinton Road (before you reach the A49 roundabout). Follow this road for a while, continuing straight over a cross roads when Utkinton Road becomes John Street. Proceed along John Street passing Rose Farm Shop on your right and continuing through Utkinton village. Follow this road until you reach a T junction with Willington Hall Hotel opposite you. Turn right at this junction onto Willington Lane and follow the lane for a couple of miles passing the sign to the The Boot Inn on your right hand side.

This lane will lead you to a T Junction with Church Street. Turn left and proceed gently down the hill, until reaching a T Junction. Take a right turn, pass the primary school on the right and the subject property will be located on the left hand side, clearly identified by a Gascoigne Halman 'For Sale' Board.
