A rare, high-value plot in Handbridge with full planning permission for a 7,474 sqft detached home. The site sits on approximately 0.5 acres in a prosperous CH4 7AZ pocket, with no flood risk, freehold tenure and planning reference 25/00046/FUL already granted for a large modern residence with leisure suite and underground garage.
This opportunity will suit a developer or an experienced self-builder aiming for a luxury family home or a high-end resale. The approved scheme includes a swimming pool, gym, art studio/cinema, bar, workshop with car lift and a sunken basement garden — features that deliver significant lifestyle appeal and market differentiation in this area.
Buyers should account for substantial construction and specialist fit-out costs associated with a property of this scale, plus programme time for build and commissioning of leisure facilities. Ground investigation and infiltration testing have been carried out and reports are available, reducing early technical unknowns.
Local advantages include strong broadband and mobile signal, low crime, good OFSTED-rated schools nearby and easy access to Chester city centre amenities. The plot’s scale and approved specification make it a standout proposition, but it requires an experienced project team and budget to realise the approved design.
