Description

Located within walking distance of Tarporley High Street, two schools and a host of impressive amenities, exceptionally rare development site with planning permission granted for seventeen new homes

Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman

I worked my first day as an estate agent in Tarporley twenty years ago, on a gorgeous sunny day. Not a day has since passed where I have not been grateful to work in such a fantastic village and it has been greatly encouraging to see it develop, grow, thrive and grow in both activity and popularity.

This is a hugely significant development opportunity within walking distance of Tarporley village centre. The rarity of the opportunity cannot be overstated and I anticipate there will be substantial interest in this remarkable and most interesting site, which extends to circa 1.2 acre.

Planning permission was granted on 3rd April 2024 by CWAC Council under planning reference 23/00075/FUL. Full details and all supporting documentation can be found on the CWAC Planning Portal.

The planning allows for the construction of seventeen new build dwellings, with a pleasing array of property types and styles. These comprise ten three bedroom semi detached dwellings each of 1250 square feet, two detached houses of 1679 square feet and five affordable units with the three bedroom semi detached units extending to 1055 square feet and the mews 670 square feet.
**
Taken as a collective, the approval allows for 19,978 square feet of space to be developed of which the balance is 15,858 open market and 4120 affordable.
As is noted in the planning officers report (document 23_00075_FUL-OFFICER_REPORT-4469129) the scheme as proposed provides sufficient parking provision, private amenity areas, the retention of a number of existing on site trees and provision of new.

It should be noted that ant variation to the planning granted would be subject to gaining the relevant permissions from Cheshire West and Chester Council.
In assessing the merit of any development site, the prospect of prompt future sales at good end values will be paramount. Close research on Tarporley yields encouraging results in both these regards and if you would like to know more about the village itself or the details of this site, please contact me at the Tarporley office.

Location

Tarporley is one of Cheshire's most highly regarded villages that boasts a diverse selection of amenities including a community centre, tennis courts, convenience stores, fashion boutiques, cafes, restaurants, public houses, doctors' surgery, dentists, three Churches and a very extensive bus route. There is also a golf course and private gymnasium / swimming pool on the edge of the village.
In terms of education, there is a very popular Primary School in the centre of the village that has in recent times been extended and heavily invested into. This in turn feeds into Tarporley High School, which at its last OFSTED report was awarded `Good¿. For those seeking Schools in the independent sector, The Grange in Hartford is 20 minutes away and there is also Kings, Queens, and Abbeygate in Chester.

The area as a whole has access to glorious countryside and places of significant interest that include ancient castles, boating facilities on nearby canals and the outstanding Sandstone Ridges of Cheshire. Wonderful walks are provided via the Whitegate Way and Sandstone Trail. Without leaving the village, there is walking distance access to beautiful countryside.

Whilst the area is renowned for its outstanding natural beauty, the house also offers an excellent base for the business traveller. In terms of road links, there are extensive connections to the M56, M6 and M53. The A49, A51 and A55 all link to key areas of commerce and interest.


With regards to railway services, there are stations at nearby Hartford, Cuddington, Delamere, Frodsham, and Chester. All operate on either the Chester to Manchester or Liverpool to London lines. Fast connections can be enjoyed at Crewe railway station, with the service to London Euston taking just over 90 minutes.

Two international airports are located within 45 minutes drive to Liverpool John Lennon International Airport and Manchester International Airport.

Directions
