# 7 bedroom detached house for sale (CW6 9PU) ## Property Details | Key | Value | |-----|-------| | Address | Woodworth Green Farm, Birds Lane, Bunbury, Tarporley, Cheshire, CW6, CW6 9PU | | Price | £1,000,000 | | Bathrooms | 1 | | Council tax | G | ## Description An mixed farm, set in unspoilt Cheshire countryside, offering the opportunity to redevelop a property with a commanding location **Description** Having been held in private hands, and farmed under a long term tenancy agreement, Woodworth Green Farm now offers buyers a genuinely rare opportunity to create a new and significant rural holding on the outskirts of Bunbury. The farm has previously been used as a mixed arable and livestock unit, suiting the clayey loams that typify the area. Whilst the conventional livestock buildings have been removed, the central farmhouse (a traditional detached brick under tile property) and the core traditional buildings remain to form the core of a new redeveloped property. The farm is offered as a whole, or in up to four lots. The core holding, comprising Lots 1 and 2, is accessed on a private drive off Wyche Lane, a short distance from the nearby village of Bunbury which provides all the necessary local amenities. Available alongside this is Lot 3, a pair of fields, currently used for forage production but equally suited to grazing, set adjacent to Bunbury itself. Finally, a short distance to the north lies Lot 4, a more substantial area of pasture, a short distance from the A51. It provides about 20 acres of gently sloping grazing. ** Lot 1 - Woodworth Green Farm ** In all about 26 acres (10 hectares) The heart of the farm is the farmstead, Woodworth Green Farm. Previously a working farmyard, the house and buildings now provide the likely start of a renovation or redevelopment project which will provide the base for new owners to create a new home or business on the farm. WOODWORTH GREEN FARMHOUSE Currently vacant and requiring complete refurbishment, the farmhouse today stands as a substantial brick-under-tile detached dwelling, with a range of rooms spread over two floors. YARD & BUILDINGS A core of traditional and some more conventional buildings remain, notably a substantial brick building set to the side of the farmhouse. The buildings will require complete refurbishment in order to be repurposed or redeveloped, but sit in a central location on the holding, at the end of the private drive. LAND Beyond the farmstead, this lot offers about 23 acres of permanent pasture, set around the yard and drive the core of land is overlooked by the farmstead and would provide the amenity and privacy a redeveloped steading would require – as well as the space for riding or grazing. In the case of a sale in lots rights of access on the drive will be reserved for Lot 2. **Location** Locally, Bunbury offers the full range of everyday conveniences with a local shop, café, three pubs and a picturesque church. Nearby Tarporley, is another desirable village, with a wider range of independent businesses, further serving the local area. The highly regarded Bunbury Primary School (which feeds into Tarporley High School) also ensures local families are catered for. These alongside the wider range of local well-respected nurseries and secondary schools, including Brambley Hedge, King’s, Queen’s and Abbey Gate in Chester, give choice to parents of school age children. The local retail and commercial hub is Chester, offering extensive shopping, dining and transport links, including connections to the wider motorway network and international airports at Liverpool and Manchester. Together with national rail links via Crewe provides the full range of connections that has enabled Cheshire to remain well connected whilst offering a quiet rural lifestyle.
