Description

Mickerdale Cottage presents a unique opportunity for developers and investors looking to breathe new life into a historically significant sandstone structure. Dating back to circa 1860, this cottage was originally part of the esteemed Bolesworth Estate and showcases charming rock-faced pink sandstone architecture beneath its former Welsh slate roof. Although adversely affected by a substantial fire in November 2021, the property retains much of its original character along with preserved stones and numbered lintels that facilitate future reconstruction efforts. Set in an enviable location near the Burwardsley Hills, the site spans approximately 3.78 acres and includes a detached sandstone outbuilding—offering excellent potential for further development or use as additional storage. Recently lapsed planning permissions proposed a thoughtful reconfiguration of the interior layout, with possibilities for modern family living including multiple reception areas, three double bedrooms, and flexible space for extensions or alterations. With its scenic backdrop and proximity to local amenities in Tattenhall, alongside essential transport links to Chester and beyond, this property is ideal for those seeking a rewarding restoration project that could transform it into a delightful family home or investment asset. Interested parties are encouraged to conduct further inquiries with local planning authorities regarding any potential consents required.
