"SET IN 1.47 ACRE, a fantastic project for ambitious private individual or seasoned developer comprising an APPEALING COTTAGE IN NEED OF REFURBISHMENT and BUILDING PLOT WITH PLANNING PERMISSION GRANTED
Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman
Alpraham has been transformed in the last ten years with extensive residential development and increasingly good amenities, with the village pub thriving and a state of the art new village hall in the final stages of construction. The village allows for easy access to commuter routes throughout Cheshire, a short drive or bus trip to the highly regarded local schools in Tarporley and countryside walks towards Bunbury.

This is a highly unusual property with tremendous scope, making it an ideal project for either a ambitious private individual or seasoned developer. The overall site size is 1.47 acre.

The scope to improve comes in two formats. The first is by refurbishing and enhancing what is a hugely appealing and distinctive cottage and is packed full of character and appeal. Whilst updating is required, the fundamentals are very good, with pleasing room sizes and ample flexibility.

The second element of investment interest is the opportunity to build a house! The side garden to the house was granted planning permission by Cheshire East on 30th May 2024 reference 24 0458N for the construction of one custom self build dwelling. Full details available on the CEC planning portal.

There is also a long paddock, double garage and store, further areas of formal garden and ample driveway parking.

This is such a rare combination and the whole is for sale with no ongoing chain and if required, quick legal completion available.

For a personal description of the property or to arrange a viewing, please contact myself or the Gascoigne Halman Tarporley office.

Location

The village of Alpraham lies within 3 miles of the beautiful village of Tarporley, 14 miles from the historic City Centre of Chester and just 7 miles from the market town of Nantwich. It is also fast developing a strong sense of local community, with the Tollemarche Arms both popular and well supported and the parish council currently working on the creation of a communal play area and newly built community centre.

Tarporley is a picturesque village with a bustling High Street that offers a comprehensive range of facilities including pubs, cafes and restaurants, and numerous shops such as convenience stores, pharmacy, DIY, clothing boutiques and gift shops. Other facilities include a petrol station, health centre, cottage hospital, dentist surgeries, veterinary practice, community centre, three Churches and highly regarded primary and secondary schools.

A regular bus service is available from Alpraham that travels to Chester City centre in one direction and Crewe via Nantwich in the other. The village is located within the heart of Cheshire and surrounded by some of the most glorious countryside, with Delamere Forest 11 miles distant and the Beeston and Peckforton Hills within 4.5 miles.

Crewe railway station is situated within 12 miles and provides a service to London Euston in just over 1 hour 30 minutes.
