Key information
Features and description
There is an old adage in the property profession that says ‘buy land, they don't make it any more’. The property for sale in this instance is a perfect example of this phrase, being located in an extremely popular conservation area some 1¼ miles from the Chester city centre and within walking distance of one of the landing stages/launching ramps to the River Dee. An idyllic spot, this land used to form part of one of the Title Deeds to the larger properties higher up on Dee Banks, but was subsequently sold as a separate hereditament in more recent times. Boundaried by Sandy Lane on the lower level and Dee Banks on the upper level, this portion of land is banked and terraced and currently has access points (pedestrian) from both Dee Banks and Sandy Lane.

Important Notice
The agents understand that the land in question is one of the few middle gardens in this location not to be burdened with the restrictive covenants, that in this area usually confine the land or properties thereon to occasional rather than permanent use and occupancy.
Planning
Prospective purchasers should note that a planning application for a grass roofed detached dwelling built into the bank of the land was made in 2015, and was subsequently refused on 3rd March 2015 (ref: 14/04607/OUT). Further details of the application itself as well as the plans submitted as part of the application can be inspected via the local authority Cheshire West and Chester Planning Portal, or via the architects who dealt with the initial application, Donald Insall Associates.
Viewing
Prospective purchasers should take great care when viewing the land due to its banked and terraced nature and the undergrowth thereon. It is advised that those inspecting the land in question should also wear stout shoes or boots when traversing the land.
Tenure
The agents understand that the land has the benefit of a freehold title.
Directions
From Chester proceed out of the city in an easterly direction taking the right-hand lane of the gyratory system, bearing right and left onto Christleton Road. After further short distance, turn right into Stocks Lane, proceeding to the right for a further distance as Stocks Lane continues as Dee Banks. The land in question will be observed on the right-hand side as the view opens up to the west and can be accessed via a wooden slatted gate adjacent to a lamppost on the right-hand side.
