FORMER AGRICULTURAL HOLDING
OFFERED FOR COMMERCIAL CONVERSION
Shawcroft Hall Farm comprises a substantial former agricultural holding incorporating a detached principal farmhouse, a separate detached cottage, and a range of barns and agricultural buildings and spaces.
The principal farmhouse provides well-proportioned family accommodation arranged over two floors. The ground floor includes a family room, sitting room, kitchen, pantry, utility room, games room and conservatory. The first floor provides four bedrooms, together with three bathrooms.
A separate detached cottage provides additional residential accommodation, comprising a kitchen, lounge, reception room and conservatory at ground floor level, with three bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor.
The property is further complemented by a range of barns and agricultural spaces, offering a variety of potential uses associated with the agricultural holding, subject to any necessary planning consents.
Shawcroft Hall Farm therefore presents an attractive and versatile rural holding, combining substantial residential accommodation with a range of agricultural buildings and spaces.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Shawcroft Hall Farm is owned and managed by the Tatton Estate and is being offered to the market as an opportunity to establish a long-term leasehold partnership with the Estate for the redevelopment, repositioning and future commercial use of the property.
The Estate is open to proposals for a range of potential commercial enterprises, which could include, subject to planning and all necessary consents, a business centre, wedding or events venue, educational facility, healthcare use, or other appropriate commercial or leisure enterprise.
The Estate recognises the significant level of investment that a prospective partner may need to commit to the property to deliver a successful redevelopment and establish a sustainable commercial operation. Accordingly, the Estate is prepared to consider a range of lease structures and commercial arrangements, including an appropriate leasehold premium, a long-term lease, or potentially a long lease at an initial peppercorn rent, depending upon the scale of investment, proposed use, business plan and overall terms of the partnership.
The opportunity therefore offers prospective operators, investors and development partners the potential to work collaboratively with the Tatton Estate to create a sustainable and commercially viable destination, with the final use and terms to be agreed between the parties and subject to the necessary planning and statutory consents.
