Description

Development Opportunity | Mobberley, Cheshire | Planning Pending
An exceptional development opportunity set within a private gated site on a tree lined lane in one of Cheshire's most coveted villages.
Planning permission is currently pending for the the conversion of a substantial steel-framed agricultural barn into five impressive family residences, each extending to just under 4,500 sq ft arranged over three floors including underground parking.
The Site
Set behind private gated entrance, the site commands a superb position along a quiet country lane in Mobberley. The wider grounds extend to several acres of pasture, presenting genuine scope for a shared facility to serve all five residences — whether that be a leisure amenity, grazing land, or equestrian use including the keeping of horses. 
The Residences
Each of the five dwellings will be arranged over three floors and will deliver a remarkably generous specification for modern family living. The under-croft level will provide private parking and useful utility spaces — practical, discreet and fully integrated into the design.
The ground floor is set to be something genuinely special: a vast, open-plan living space with the kind of volume and natural light that only a barn conversion of this scale can deliver. Whether finished as a dramatic kitchen, dining and entertaining space or configured to suit a buyer's own vision, the proportions will be truly impressive.
The first floor provides ample scope to be arranged as a bespoke bedroom suite — with sufficient space to accommodate a large family in real comfort, complete with multiple bathrooms and flexible additional rooms as required.
The Location
Mobberley is among the most sought-after villages in the Cheshire countryside, offering a strong sense of community alongside excellent local amenities including St Wilfrid's Church, the popular Bulls Head pub, and well-regarded local schools. The village sits at the heart of a triangle of some of the North West's most prestigious addresses, with Knutsford, Wilmslow and Hale village each within approximately ten minutes' drive.
Knutsford offers the boutique shopping and dining of King Street alongside its famous Georgian character. Wilmslow delivers a thriving town centre, premium retailers and excellent rail connections into Manchester and towards London. Hale village, beloved for its independent restaurants, coffee houses and relaxed affluence, completes a remarkable trio of destinations on the doorstep.
Manchester Airport is within easy reach, and the wider motorway network connecting to Manchester city centre, the North West and beyond is readily accessible.
Planning permission currently pending. Further details including plans and technical information available upon request.
