The farm buildings, which have been used largely for storage of agricultural equipment and miscellanea for many years were destroyed by the fire in a matter of minutes.

Fisher German have been managing the Estate for over 50 years and have now been instructed to act in respect of the rebuilding of the fire damaged sections which equates to approximately fifty five percent of the entire building range. The buildings are listed and therefore will have to be carefully restored using locally sourced materials to match those parts which escaped the fire.

The Estate has considered various non- agricultural options for the future uses of the building range, once the restoration has been completed, which includes conversion to residential accommodation or commercial uses. 

A decision has now been made to develop the barns, subject to obtaining the necessary local authority consents to include planning,  into a residential use with up to six properties being created ranging from two to four bedroom cottages. 

The Planning and Building Surveying department in the Chester office is working closely with the Estate Trustees to help achieve their objectives for this part of the Estate and will shortly be submitting a planning pre-application to Cheshire West and Chester Council to assess their thoughts over a residential conversion proposal. It is hoped that, subject to planning approval being obtained, that the conversion work will commence in early 2017.
