INTRODUCTION
Sale of Green Bank Farm provides an opportunity to acquire an agricultural and residential holding in a prime location. Comprising of the substantial mellow brick farmhouse under a slated roof the accommodation includes many internal features of character including panelled doors and moulded ceiling friezes and well proportioned rooms.
The traditional brick buildings have been used for poultry and general storage purposes with a section of the building used for temporary residential accommodation but this use will be discontinued. There was no formal planning permission for this use.
The remaining buildings have been used in connection with the wood kindling business of the Vendor which is being relocated.
There are substantial portal framed buildings used for stock housing and storage. A steel framed building has been fire damaged and is mainly unsheeted but could quite easily be restored for stock housing purposes.

The unit is ideally located for access to Sandbach and the national motorway network and includes traditional land of the area being generally of a heavy nature and ideal for grass cropping. The area known as Sandbach Flash is owned by the Vendor but the fishing rights therein are not owned and were previously transferred to Elworth Angling Society together with rights of access for fishing from the Flash Bank on Green Bank Farm.
A new flash area in OS 0066 is owned and includes the right to fish (i.e. the fishing rights).
It is suggested that this holding will appeal to those seeking a residence with land, to a farmer for a low key agricultural use or for a person who would work the unit as a farm and a possible ancillary business use - for example, an agricultural contractor or similar rural business although any formal change of use would require planning permission.

If so required the purchaser could purchase either or both areas to extend the total area of Lot 1 to 22.899 hectares 56.59 acres. An inspection is strongly recommended for the potential the unit provides.
