Lodge Lane, Saughall, Chester, Cheshire

Elmwood Farm is a semi-detached red brick and part-rendered single fronted family home, in need of modernisation. The accommodation comprises an entrance hall, family bathroom, lounge/diner, kitchen and utility space on the ground floor, with three bedrooms on the first floor.

Set behind mature hedging and with the potential to provide huge kerb appeal, the property is approached over a tarmac side driveway leading past the house to a rear courtyard which provides private parking for multiple vehicles. The formal wraparound garden to the front and side aspects is laid mainly to lawn bordered by mature hedging, shrubs and trees. The concreted courtyard adjoining the garden to the rear is bordered by a range of outbuildings, one comprising two barns and another providing stabling with three loose boxes and three further internal stalls. The farm also benefits from further outbuildings, some in a state of disrepair, offering potential for modernisation or for redevelopment based on their existing footprint (subject to planning).

Set in an enviable rural location adjoining the grounds of Shotwick Castle on the England/Wales border, the property sits on the fringes of Saughall
village which offers amenities including local shopping, a church, Co-op, pharmacy, Post Office, café, hairdresser, takeaway, garage, pub and primary school. Chester has an extensive selection of national and independent retailers together with leisure and sporting facilities. Commuter links are
excellent: the property enjoys easy access to the M56, M53 and motorway network and to key regional centres in both Wales and England, and
Capenhurst station (3.9 miles) provides regular direct services to Chester (11 minutes) and its onward service to London Euston in around two hours.
