It is offered for sale with up to 51.51 acres (20.8 ha) and is available in two Lots.The farmhouse is a detached property constructed of brick under a tiled roof with upvc double glazed windows and the benefit of oil central heating. It has recently undergone a scheme of modernisation and offers comfortable family living accommodation with 2 living rooms, 5/6 bedrooms and 2 bath/shower rooms plus en-suite shower room. The traditional outbuildings in the adjoining courtyard comprise a single storey sandstone range and adjoining two storey brick range. Lot 1 which includes the farmhouse together with the traditional and modern farm buildings immediately behind the courtyard range is offered with 6.19 acres (2.5 ha) and stands centrally within its land. Lot 2 adjoins the farmhouse and buildings to the south, extending to 45.32 acres (18.34 ha) and is accessed independently from off Chester Road.DEVELOPMENT POTENTIALThe traditional courtyard range of outbuildings offer tremendous development potential with many precedents having been set in recent years by the Local Planning Authority in similar circumstances. To further support a planning application, part of the site has been used for commercial purposes albeit to complement a farming operation. As for the modern farm buildings these are for the most part steel framed structures with concrete block walls and side cladding, such that they are capable of being converted without the need to dismantle them. Based on recent planning legislation, there may be a case to make for change of use on these buildings for residential under permitted development rights. As for the outlying land, it will undoubtedly be of interest to farming and equestrian buyers. However, owing to its strategic location within close proximity to large residential conurbations and commercially operated sites with excellent road links there may be some development prospects in the medium to long term.LOT 1 - 6.19 ACRES (2.50 HA)The farmhouse with the traditional and modern buildings stands centrally within its land and is accessed via an unadopted green lane which is a bridleway and public footpath.

Chester's crowning gloryBlending golden age Georgian grandeur with contemporary convenience and comfort, grandly proportioned rooms brimming with original features await in a most versatile and historic home set along arguably Chester's premier street. Welcome to The Mayor's House.In the heart of Chester, follow the cobbled curve of King Street from Northgate, seemingly stepping into another world. Almost a village within the city, King Street, with its eclectic collection of prestigious homes, much more than a residential street, exists as a strong collaborative community, hosting street parties and social events over the course of the year.Set over four floors, The Mayor's House features office space on the ground and lower ground floors, with two spacious apartments on the first, second and third floors. Parking for four cars is available to the side, with two currently reserved for the business premises, dividing the remaining two spaces between the upper floor apartments.History within the WallsA Chester landmark, The Mayor's House is an elegant Grade 2 listed Georgian terrace, whose drainpipe is inscribed with its date of construction, in 1775. Built on land once occupied by the Roman garrison, The Mayor's House is nestled within the eminent City Walls.Its history well researched by the current owner and renovator (three boilers, part of a 2018 refurbishment of the central heating are available for each element of the home), archive records reveal its first owner to have been a brewer by the name of William Walley, who might well have plied his trade at the brewery which once stood opposite the home.In later years (1830), The Mayor's House passed from Mr Walley's family into the possession of merchant, Edward Tilston, who in 1845 became the Mayor of Chester. The patriarch of a large family, it has been noted by several more recent occupants that The Mayor's House retains the warmth and welcome of a much-loved family home.More recently, The Mayor's House has served as both a school and as nursing accommodation, before coming full circle and returning to its roots as residential accommodation.Down to businessMake your way to the imposing front door, stepping inside where the promise of Georgian splendour is made good in the high ceilings, finely carved oak staircase and light diffusing Venetian window.Elegant tiling features beneath the high ceiling of the entrance hall, where period doorsopen to the right and left.Amtico-style flooring replaces the tiles, stepping through into the main office area on the right, where the scale and proportion of the rooms is revealed. With a period fireplace in situ, light spills in through the large, shuttered windows to the front, framing the peaceful comings and goings of King Street.Glass doors open to the rear, also currently serving as office space, whilst the panelling continues throughout the ground floor to the lower walls.But with the retention of period features comes an original, contemporary twist; to the left of the front door, another reception room, currently also used for business purposes, reveals a modern glass staircase, leading to the lower ground floor.OWNER QUOTE: What wows people is the contrast between the Georgian entrance and glass stairs and contemporary basement. The basement is a revelation to people when they see it - they're not expecting it.Furnished with a kitchenette containing all Bosch appliances alongside a shower room, this substantially sized lower ground level, when consolidated with the spacious rooms on the ground floor, could easily serve as a chic City-style, two-storey apartment.Several rooms serve as meeting rooms and boardrooms, with glass doors, refurbished barrel-vaulted ceilings, tanked rooms and freshly plastered walls, behind which ancient Chester sandstone speaks of the heritage of the home.Hidden stairways hint at the possibilities should you wish to create a living space over two or even all levels. Currently blocked off, admire the elegant fireplace, which could be revived if required.Apartment 1Park up at the side of The Mayor's House and access the rear entrance hall via a part-glazed door which opens into the elegantly tiled hall, dressed in warm white. Here, the stunning curved oak staircase is beautifully illuminated by light that flows down through the large Venetian window on the turn.From the broad and bright, first floor landing, make your way into Apartment 1, modelled around the home's former main drawing room. Now opened up to incorporate a living area and kitchen, the original large, marble fireplace and cornicing retain a classical elegance, with panelling to the lower walls and gentle sconce lighting to the walls. Sash windows draw in an abundance of light.A breakfast bar peninsula offers a sense of distinction in this open-plan space, as the room transitions, with a grey oak Howdens kitchen furnished with Bosch induction hob, oven, fridge-freezer and dishwasher. French Cognac Neobo flooring retains that classic Georgian feel with a modern-day practicality.From the large, light diffusing sash windows, replete with restored, original shutters, glimpse views of the iconic homes and oriel windows along King Street, here in the heart of Chester. White Corian worktops emulate the gleam of the Victorian fireplace.
