Description
Dating originally from the mid-17th century, Audlem Country House is Grade II listed and historically a former grammar school, and most recently a former nursing home until September 2018. There is now huge scope for full development subject to the necessary planning permissions to offer extensive living accommodation and potentially commercial facilities, all set in the desirable village of Audlem. The property also has the Breeze House that is made up of four apartments in a separate dwelling. This property is available by separate negotiation.
The magnificent, imposing original school building, with its striking red brick façade, possesses significant scope for development, with over 12,000 square feet of accommodation, including several very large reception rooms, in addition to previously 39 bedrooms, and an impressive 46ft hall to the second floor. Our clients have had a local planning consultant report on the site and heritage consultant also draw up their recommendations. We are more than happy to share these documents.
Set within well-maintained grounds, including rolling lawns and patio areas. There is a paved driveway, accessed via Vicarage Lane, which offers ample parking space, while the walled gardens provide a wealth of different areas including the south-facing paved terrace and plenty of mature trees and shrubs.
The Breeze House is available by separate negotiation.
Location
Audlem is an attractive, extremely well serviced award-winning country village, the centre of which is designated as a Conservation Area, well known for its Church dating back to 1279. Audlem has a medical practice, chemist, primary school, play group, three public houses and a range of shops. It is also the location of 15 locks on the Shropshire Union Canal.
In a county considered as prosperous as Cheshire, a village as well serviced as Audlem may become complacent about the services & facilities it provides but it has demonstrated that it certainly doesn't take its facilities for granted. Annual events in the Village include a Transport Festival, Music & Arts Festival and Open Gardens Weekend.
