The Farmhouse
The farmhouse is a three-story brick building, built in the early 19th Century, The farmhouse is Locally Listed by Cheshire West and Chester Council but is not nationally listed; it does not, therefore, have the same restrictions with regard to repair and alteration that a nationally listed building would.
The house is of traditional construction, with slated dual-pitched roofs, brick-built chimney stacks, and solid brick walls. The windows are a mixture of uPVC double-glazed construction, and timber vertical sliding sash windows with single-glazed panes.
The farmhouse is in a poor state of repair but retains many of its period features and would create a tremendous family home following a comprehensive scheme of refurbishment throughout. The total gross internal area, including the cellar, extends to approx. 433 sq. m (4662 sq. ft). The property is currently boarded-up for security reasons.
The Barns
The barns form an attractive courtyard, with the farmhouse located to the south and are also Locally Listed, being within the curtilage of the farmhouse. The buildings are former agricultural barns, predominately two storey and are brick-built with majority natural slate roofing. The buildings display a wealth of exposed original trusses, which would be an attractive feature within any conversion of the barns into an alternative use. In addition, these buildings have excellent headroom and many openings, allowing for an acceptable level of windows, should they be converted. The total gross internal area of the barns extends to approx. 1000 sq. m (10756 sq. ft).
Outside
Sutton New Hall Farm is approached off the Ledsham Road, along a private track belonging to Redrow, over which the property has a perpetual right of way.
The farmhouse sits in a generous plot, with the principal gardens having a southerly aspect. The gardens are mainly lawned with a variety of established trees and hedge boundaries.
The barns, sit to the north of the farmhouse, forming a courtyard setting, which is partly cobbled. To the rear of the barns is an area of land, for which to create gardens, should the buildings be converted to residential dwellings.
