Sale 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:-
