Semi-Detached Cottage with Development Potential
Description
-Grade II Listed Semi-Detached Cottage
-Development Opportunity
-Formerly Arranged as Two Reception Rooms and Three Bedrooms
-Partial First Fix Services Installed
Falcon Cottage is a Grade II listed semi-detached property offering a rare opportunity for full restoration. The building has been largely stripped back to shell condition, providing an unobstructed canvas for comprehensive refurbishment.
The property was historically arranged to provide two reception rooms, a ground floor bedroom or study, kitchen and bathroom, with two first floor bedrooms, both benefitting from en suite facilities. A notable and unusual feature is the separate staircase access to each of the first floor rooms.
Accommodation is now predominantly in shell condition, with exposed structural elements and bare floorplates in parts. First fix electrical and plumbing works have been undertaken to a limited extent; however, the property otherwise requires full reinstatement and completion throughout, providing an exciting development opportunity for an owner occupier or developer.
In its current state, Falcon Cottage offers complete flexibility for an incoming purchaser to potentially reconfigure the internal arrangement, subject to the necessary listed building and planning consents. There is also potential for extension to the rear, subject to consent, which may further enhance the overall accommodation. Overall, Falcon Cottage represents a considered opportunity to restore and reimagine a period home of character, set within a well-regarded semi-rural location.
Falcon Cottage is situated within the semi-rural hamlet of Marton Sands, near Winsford in Cheshire. The immediate area is characterised by open countryside and a low-density residential environment, offering privacy and a sense of seclusion while remaining well connected to established amenities. Winsford lies a short distance away and provides a practical range of everyday services including supermarkets, independent retailers, cafés, healthcare facilities and leisure provision. The town also offers a selection of primary and secondary schooling, contributing to its appeal for a range of residential occupiers.
Beyond Winsford, the wider Cheshire region provides a number of established centres including Northwich, Nantwich and Chester, each offering a more extensive retail, dining and cultural offering. The surrounding countryside is a key feature of the area, with canal networks, woodland walks and open farmland providing strong recreational appeal.
The property benefits from good regional connectivity, with the A54 and A556 readily accessible, linking to the M6 motorway network and providing onward routes to Chester, Crewe, Northwich and Manchester. Rail services from Winsford station offer connections towards Crewe and Manchester, with wider national rail links available via Crewe, a key interchange on the West Coast Main Line.
Overall, the location offers a balance of rural character and practical accessibility, supporting both residential demand and longer-term investment appeal.

By setting a proxy bid, the system will automatically bid on your behalf to maintain your position as the highest bidder, up to your proxy bid amount. If you are outbid, you will be notified via email so you can opt to increase your bid if you so choose.
If two of more users place identical bids, the bid that was placed first takes precedence, and this includes proxy bids.
Another bidder placed an automatic proxy bid greater or equal to the bid you have just placed. You will need to bid again to stand a chance of winning.
