A rare mixed-use rural site offering renovation, rebuild or commercial redevelopment potential, all subject to planning consents, with excellent access to Whitchurch, Nantwich, Chester and the nearby Bickerton Hills AONB. The Cottage and Garage at Bickley Moss presents an intriguing and exceptionally rare mixed-use opportunity in a peaceful rural setting just outside Whitchurch. Originally built in 1937 as two separate cottages and later combined into one detached dwelling, the home now offers three-bedroom accommodation over two floors, requiring comprehensive renovation and repair, while also providing potential for replacement or rebuild, subject to planning consent. The wider site includes a former fuel station and garage, no longer trading, creating a uniquely versatile residential and commercial plot with vast scope for redevelopment, business reinvention or future re-imagining, pending the relevant approvals.

Surrounded by open countryside, with local landmarks including Cholmondeley Castle and the popular Cholmondeley Arms close by, the property enjoys pleasant views across unspoilt farmland, offering strong lifestyle appeal alongside its development potential. Despite its rural position, connectivity is excellent, with Whitchurch town centre, shops and the railway station all easily accessible, while the historic market town of Nantwich and the cathedral city of Chester are within comfortable reach for work or leisure. The nearby Bickerton Hills, a stunning Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offer elevated walking trails, dramatic sandstone ridges and far-reaching scenic viewpoints, further enhancing the appeal of this exceptional location.

Access is via the existing side lane for domestic use, leading to the rear of the cottage and garage. There is noted potential structural damage to a first-floor chimney breast and buyers are advised to enter the property with caution and at their own risk.

This is a property and plot that truly rivals anything else currently available in the locality — rich in history, full of potential and perfectly positioned to offer both countryside living and an outstanding future opportunity, all subject to planning.

Anti-Money Laundering & ID Checks

Once an offer is accepted on a property marketed by Dourish & Day estate agents we are required to complete ID verification checks on all buyers and to apply ongoing monitoring until the transaction ends. Whilst this is the responsibility of Dourish & Day we may use the services of MoveButler, to verify Clients’ identity. This is not a credit check and therefore will have no effect on your credit history. You agree for us to complete these checks, and the cost of these checks is £30.00 inc. VAT per buyer. This is paid in advance, when an offer is agreed and prior to a sales memorandum being issued. This charge is non-refundable.

Agents Note

The purchasers may reconstruct the existing dwelling. However, any additional building or buildings erected on the site will be subject to a development uplift clause of 20% for a period of 15 years.

Vehicular access is restricted to domestic use only and must be taken via the existing lane located alongside the property, which provides access to the cottage and the rear of the garage.
