Detached house for sale

Farm Road, Oakmere, Northwich CW8

Amazing development opportunity with the benefit of detailed planning consent granted, well located in a high quality residential area with the glorious Delamere Forest within walking distance.

Comment From Robert Reed Of Gascoigne Halman

The price of development sites and building plots in the area have soared in value. This therefore is a great opportunity as it is realistically priced and is a good option for private individuals or developers wanting to create a stylish detached dwelling in a lifestyle location on the edge of Delamere Forest and within walking distance of Wild Shore, a water based adventure hub. Delamere Forest, which can be accessed on foot, is a superb location for walks and natural beauty. Once a year there are concerts in the Forest and many high profile artists have headlined through the years.

The building was originally Delamere Estate and subsequently became a workshop and site office. It is presently a redundant garage building. The current owner has worked with renowned local architect and planning consultant Nicola Gibson to create exciting and well thought through plans that were approved by cwac on the 24th January 2025 under reference 24/03160/ful.

The approved plans lend themselves to the creation of a funky, contemporary and unique residence, which will provide circa 1900 square feet of living space. The layout allows for three bedrooms served by two en suites and a bathroom. The living space will be focussed around a fantastic kitchen whilst there is also provision for a living room, study, utility and cloakroom.

Externally there is off road parking provision, a car port and what will be a private, low maintenance and compact garden.

The road is increasingly well developed and popular, with a new build house opposite recently exchanging contracts at in excess of £850,000.

If 2025 is the year you want to create your own unique home in a location ideal for those who love the outdoors, then Crown Barn could well be the opportunity you have been looking for.
