Long Lane, Alpraham, Cheshire

Rostons are delighted to offer for sale Moathouse Farm which offers an enticing opportunity to acquire a traditional farmhouse and farmyard with considerable potential for development, subject to planning permission. Apart from the conversion prospects of the traditional barns, the six-bedroom farmhouse and the surrounding paddocks offer the possibility of creating an appealing and substantial family residence. Set in approximately 7.6 acres, Moathouse Farmhouse is situated in an elevated position off Long Lane with the property boasting a large formal garden partially bordered by a sizable pond, providing a picturesque setting.

The site is spacious enough for the farmhouse to operate independently from the barns. The existence of three access points off the public highway underscores the flexibility for potential buyers to explore various development avenues. Preliminary investigations conducted by the current owner indicate promising potential for converting the charming traditional barns into six residential dwellings. The total gross area of the barns amounts to approximately 15,995 sq.ft (1,486 sqm).
