A fantastic opportunity to acquire The Parish Room in Ashton Hayes, a facility which has formerly been used as a playgroup, library and general meeting room. The Parish Room sits between two cottages in West End and is central to the village and the village community.

The building offers scope for other uses in the future, subject to any necessary planning consents and building regulation approvals that may be required.

The property briefly comprises an entrance hallway, a large meeting room, kitchen, storeroom, rear hall, gents WC and ladies WC. There is also a large loft space.

Architect drawings for conversion from The Parish Room into a two-bedroom house have been prepared by Abigail Owen Architects.

Ashton Hayes is a popular village located about eight miles away from Chester and six miles from Tarporley. The village is particularly picturesque and enjoys many amenities including a community shop, a private childrens nursery, village hall, a well-supported parish church, and the Golden Lion Public House which is now in community ownership and is in the process of being restored; it is expected to reopen later this year. All of these amenities are within walking distance of the Parish Rooms.

The village also boasts a recreational field and playground. Ashton Hayes has its own highly regarded primary school and the area is within close proximity of further schooling. We have been advised by the seller that there is also a private day nursery within walking distance of the property. There are walks locally and Delamere Forest is also close by.

Further amenities are available in the nearby village of Mouldsworth including the Goshawk public house and Mouldsworth railway station which provides a direct link on the Chester to Manchester line. The area as a whole is ideal for the business traveller with the A55, M56 and M53 close at hand.
