The Withington Estate | Description

The Estate encompasses 3 farms each presenting superb development opportunities upon which high end "statement" properties could be designed and each standing in handsome plots with extensive land holdings.

The Estate includes "The Old Plant Site" which comprises a c.50 acre area of land that has been fully restored and may present a significant strategic development opportunity (subject to planning permission) given its direct access to the A535 (Holmes Chapel Road) and Alderley Edge close by. This area has now been fully restored to an area made up of fields, wooded copse, 2 small lodges and a boundary of established hedgerow and trees.

At the heart of the Estate lies 3 beautiful restored lakes extending to c.220 acres of open water surrounded by accommodation land, woodland and agricultural land which represent an exciting development and alternative use opportunities (subject to planning consent).

Across the Estate there is approximately 200 acres of Grade 2 Agricultural land which has been traditionally kept as pastureland for dairy and beef herds as well as cropping. There is also approximately 100 acres of rough grazing, in small to large pockets, spread across the Estate.

Within the Estate there is around 200 acres of woodland spread across the Estate ranging from small copses to larger multi-acre plantations. The woodland is made up of a mixed tree heritage with the predominant varieties being Silver Birch and Pine.
