An uncommon opportunity to purchase a freehold 0.15-acre plot on Chester Road, Kelsall, close to village amenities and good road links to Chester and the M56. The site has mains services available nearby and sits within a pleasant rural setting with low crime and no flood risk. Mobile signal is excellent and the plot fronts the road with a depth of approximately 52.4 metres.
Important planning history is a material consideration: an application for a detached 4-bedroom dwelling (2,605 sq ft) was refused by Cheshire West & Chester Council (14 Sep 2023) and a subsequent appeal was dismissed by the Planning Inspectorate (22 Aug 2024). The Inspector cited incompatibility with the neighbouring terrace and harm to the character of the village Conservation Area. Prospective buyers should therefore factor in constrained planning prospects and potential design restrictions or alternative, reduced-scope schemes.
The parcel is rectangular, narrowing to 8.56 metres at the rear, and is described as neglected, requiring groundworks and formal access arrangements (access presently via land forming part of a neighbouring driveway with a right of way). The plot could suit an investor, developer or speculator able to explore revised, context-sensitive designs, or hold as a long-term landbank. Sale price reflects current planning status and the need for further professional input.
Viewing and technical checks are recommended prior to offer: investigate local Conservation Area guidance, confirm access and any restrictive covenants, and commission site surveys. The vendor will sell freehold with vacant possession; mains services are available in Chester Road.
