FOR SALE BY PUBLIC AUCTION (Subject to conditions and prior sale) AS A WHOLE OR IN LOTS
On FRIDAY 21 MAY 2010 AT THE JUBILEE HALL, MALPAS AT 7.00 PM

An inspection of the land areas forming Lot 2 and Lot 3 is strongly advised as it is suggested that it would be difficult to find land of equal quality in the immediate neighbourhood. The land is multi-purpose, ideal for grass cropping, cereal or maize growing and even higher grade crops if so desired.
More detailed information is set out below in respect of each respective Lot but it is very strongly stressed that this is a unique and rare opportunity to acquire a holding with unlimited potential under one mile from the centre of Malpas Town.
Malpas Town enjoys all major services expected in a rural district including a daily regular bus service between Chester and Whitchurch. Two noted Schools. Two Churches. Modern Medical Centre. High-tech I.T. Centre and Library at the Bishop Heber High School. A Victorian Jubilee Hall available to hire for social activities and many other local facilities.

GENERAL INFORMATION
It is unlikely that any agricultural/residential holding will command such interest as is anticipated in the sale of Fields Farm. It possesses many features that prospective purchasers look for when buying rural property.
These qualities include a fine Period house, which subject to rehabilitation and modification will provide a very fine residence with many original features of appeal.
The house enjoys splendid views over open countryside to the front and from the grounds one of the finest views of Malpas Church and Malpas Town available in the locality.
The original double Shippon would easily convert into Loose Boxes for stock housing. With 19.80 acres of high quality land, it presents numerous alternative agricultural enterprise opportunities that could be undertaken and practised.
If sold in three lots the purchaser of Lot 1 could, if he so wished, acquire further adjoining land, i.e. Lot 2 and Lot 3.
An interesting feature within the land area of Lot 1 are the two pools which could be landscaped, developed for duck flighting purposes or stocked with fish depending upon an individuals' preference.
