Description - Highfield Hall has so many possibilities whether you envisage an impressive five bedroom family home, an equestrian-inspired country residence or a bespoke architectural project. Highfield Hall presents an opportunity to create a property of individual character in a highly attractive rural setting, sat in an elevated position with outstanding far reaching views across the Dee Valley.

The property comprises a former farmhouse requiring comprehensive renovation/ redevelopment, together with a range of existing farm buildings with a myriad of different uses, all set within good quality farmland.

Planning permission was granted in December 2023, application number WOR P/2022/0441 for the demolition of the existing dwelling and the construction of a replacement architect-designed home with garage/carport and stores and a new entrance drive, thus offering an exciting opportunity to create a bespoke residence tailored to individual requirements. Detailed plans have been drawn up (see architects’ drawings) for a contemporary five bedroom home.

Alternatively, if you did not wish to create a new build there is an existing five bedroom house that is in need of a full scheme of refurbishment as not habitable in its current state. See existing plans for house. Further extensions and remodeling are possible subject to the necessary consents being obtained.

Outbuildings - There is an extensive range of useful agricultural buildings in need of refurbishment. They lie to the gable end of the house and range from brick construction to steel portal framed. They have scope for many different uses such as agricultural and equestrian with a full range of other uses subject to the necessary consents being obtained.

Situation - Highfield Hall sits down a long drive on the Welsh/Cheshire borders benefitting from the most incredible views, with the Welsh hills serving as a majestic backdrop. Yet despite this rural idyll, many amenities are close by. Bangor on Dee village is only a short drive away and is particularly well known for its historic character and attractive setting beside the River Dee and celebrated National Hunt racecourse. The village provides a selection of everyday amenities, including traditional public houses and local services, while the surrounding countryside offers pleasant opportunities for walking and riding.

The other close by village of note is Malpas, a popular village destination, characterised by its historic streets, traditional buildings and independent shops. Local amenities include cafés, public houses, Dr Surgery, convenience shopping and everyday services. Malpas is particularly well regarded by families for its village atmosphere and access to local schooling, including Bishop Heber High School. The village offers a quieter alternative to larger urban centres while remaining within convenient driving distance of Chester, Wrexham and Whitchurch. The popular and easy to drive to towns of Chester, Wrexham and Whitchurch all provide more comprehensive facilities.

The closeness to railway connections makes for an easy commute to major conurbations with Wrexham General and Central stations, Whitchurch, Chester and Crewe all having national and local connections. For travel to London, you would either take a train from Wrexham General or Chester and take a direct train to Euston.

The schooling opportunities are excellent with Chester having The King's School and The Queen's School, Moreton Hall, near Oswestry, Shrewsbury School and Ellesmere College, near Ellesmere.

For road commuters, the surrounding network provides access to Wrexham, Chester and the wider Northwest, with connections to the A483 and onward routes towards the A55, M53 and M56.
