Particulars of:
K’s NURSERIES
COALPIT
LANE
MOLLINGTON
CHESTER
CH1 6LJ
K’s Nurseries is strategically situated approximately 3 miles
north of Chester City Centre, with a prominent frontage onto the A540 Chester
to Hoylake Road and a secondary frontage and access onto Coalpit Lane. The
property operated as a Retail Plant Nursery for in excess of 50 years
attracting a loyal local and regional trade, especially noted for bedding
plants, shrubs, hanging baskets etc.
Extending to 9.38 acres, the Nursery includes a deceptively
spacious three bedroomed Bungalow, approximately 16,500 sq. ft of Glasshouses
and Polytunnels, approximately 1,750 sq.ft. of retail office and stores,
together with extensive areas of car parking and open land which is currently
down to pasture.
K’s Nurseries is within one mile of the village of Saughall
which provides a range of services suitable for day to day requirements, whilst
the City of Chester is approximately 3 miles to the south which offers a
comprehensive range of commercial, recreational and leisure facilities as well
as being a City of considerable architectural interest and appeal. The
A540 is one of the main arterial roads linking Chester with the Wirral
Peninsular, whilst its junction with the A5117 is approximately ½ a mile away
which is a principal access route into North Wales in a westerly direction and
to the M53 and M56 Motorways (2 miles) in an easterly direction which in turn
provides both regional and national accessibility. The
strategic situation of the property and its accessibility is a significant
feature of the property, as it is readily accessible, not only to the City of
Chester but to North Wales, the Wirral peninsular, Liverpool, Ellesmere Port
and the North West.
Whilst the property is not trading, it’s sale
is a rare opportunity to acquire a residential commercial property occupying
such a convenient and prominent site capable of serving a wide geographical
area.
Whilst its previous use was that of a Retail Plant Nursery, it is suggested that the property offers
significant potential for other commercial uses appropriate to its site and
location, though subject to obtaining Planning Consent.
Having the benefit of a long frontage onto the A540 Parkgate
Road, access is obtained off Coalpit Lane leading directly to the property
which in more detail includes:-
