Little Acorn Farm, Hornspike Road, Whixall

A unique opportunity to purchase a well-equipped smallholding with potential for equestrian or agricultural use. The site comprises:

Steel portal framed building (60' x 30'). Concrete block with Dutch boarding above, split level, open fronted with access to rear. Most recently used for housing of stock and storage this building could be easily adapted to create American barn style stabling.

Open fronted pole barn (90' x 20'). Ideal for storage or for housing of stock.

The buildings are located to the rear of the site with a hardcore track giving access from the road. The land lies to either side of the buildings and is split in to two parcels with potential to sub-divide further, the level land would be ideal for creation of a manège (subject to the necessary permissions). Mature hedgerows encircle the site offering protection for stock but also providing privacy. The site as a whole totals 3.63 Acres (1.47 Ha).

For those with equestrian interests the network of surrounding quiet country lanes and bridlepaths would provide ideal hacking out opportunities and a number of well-reputed competition venues and facilities are within close proximity.

Planning
Please note that the site has had the benefit of temporary residential planning permission previously (in the form of a static caravan) which has now lapsed, this was tied to the calf rearing enterprise which was run from the site.
(Ref 14/00834/FUL).

Services
Mains water and electric are connected. No other mains services are connected however they are believed to be available in the area, connection to these would be at the cost of the buyer. Solar panels situated on the roof of the agricultural building provide an income and support the electric supply.

Development Clawback
The land is sold subject to a development clawback. In the event that planning permission is granted within the next 25 years for the land to be used for any purposes other than equestrian or agricultural use then the sellers or their heirs will be entitled to 25% of the increase in value.
