DESCRIPTION

The Cowshed was formerly part of Frodsham Golf Club which closed down in 2021 and before closure acted as the new clubhouse to the course with bar and restaurant. At present a planning application has been lodged under Planning
No. 22/04568/FUL for ‘Change of use of building to one residential unit’ which is awaiting determination but shows the scope/potential for the future. The Cowshed is constructed single block under a felt roof with timber cladded elevations having the benefit of private drainage and heated by a generator. There is potential to create a bespoke, self-sufficient, eco-friendly home on the site surrounded by an acre of landscaped gardens and terraced seating areas.
Alternatively, one could seek to reposition a new dwelling to take full advantage of the elevated site or continue to use the building as a commercial unit being a restaurant and/or bar, subject to gaining of any necessary planning permissions. In addition to The Cowshed there is a portion of the adjoining car park included which can be used in conjunction with the building or separately, providing access is always available through to The Cowshed.
