This property presents a unique opportunity comprised of a variety of traditional and modern farm buildings situated in a serene rural setting, with significant renovation and investment potential. Previously granted planning permission for residential conversion, the site allows for creative development that could cater to the growing demand for housing in this tranquil area.
The property encompasses approximately 1.35 acres and includes several structures: traditional barns that capture the charm of Cheshire architecture, along with more contemporary farm buildings. The layout and availability of additional land—up to 5 acres negotiable separately—enhance its appeal as a versatile investment.
Located not far from Shocklach, Pursa Farm Barns are easily accessible via a quiet country lane, offering picturesque views over open countryside. The nearby village is well-equipped with essential amenities including a pub, primary school, and church. For more extensive needs, residents can travel to Tilston or the larger villages of Farndon and Malpas. Chester, approximately 12 miles to the north, provides a wider range of services including shopping centers and business facilities.
Educational opportunities abound in the vicinity, with local schools available alongside prestigious private institutions such as The King’s School and Queen’s School in Chester. Recreational activities are well-supported as well, with several golf clubs nearby and equestrian resources easily accessible for riding enthusiasts.
In terms of transport links, Pursa Farm Barns benefit from proximity to major roads including the A41—just 4 miles away—which connects with the M53 and M56 motorways. This strategic location ensures convenient travel to key commercial areas across North West England as well as access to major airports in Liverpool, Manchester, and Birmingham.
Notably, planning application No. 20/01332/PDQ was previously approved for transforming these buildings into four residential units; however, this approval has since lapsed. While any new prospective owner would need to reapply for planning consent—with restrictions likely limiting conversion to two dwellings—the groundwork has been laid for future development. The original concept involved converting both traditional and modern structures into distinct living spaces while maintaining an attractive layout that preserves privacy.
The potential for creating bespoke residences in this appealing setting is substantial, particularly given its favorable south-facing orientation overlooking scenic fields. Buyers looking to invest in property within a burgeoning market will find this offering presents significant possibilities for transformation into desirable family homes or rental properties.
