Situation
Windmill Wood is approximately 1.6 miles from the centre of Knutsford off the premium residential road of Goughs Lane and Chelford Road. The woodland benefits from excellent transport links, with Junction 19 of the M6 just 4.5 miles away and the M56 is in close proximity. The closest train station is in Knutsford ideal for those commuting to Manchester or Chester offering a direct hourly service. There are international airports at Manchester and Liverpool respectively.
The Woodland
Windmill Wood has been owned and lovingly looked after by one family for nearly 40 years and was first established by the Toft Estate in the mid 19th century. The wood is a stunning haven for wildlife but also contains considerable mature timber, including significant stands for beech, oak, larch, Scots pine and yews. Leisure and recreational uses sympathetic to the woodland setting are likely to be explored by potential purchasers. The woodland is traversed by woodland walks and meandering pathways and has a vehicular access from the Chelford Road on the eastern boundary.
Tenure
The property is offered freehold with vacant possession upon completion.
Local Authority

Easements, wayleaves and rights of way

†Traditional auction
Exchange occurs at the end of the auction. This means that if the reserve is met or exceeded and the auction timer reaches zero, the successful bidder is legally obliged to pay the purchase price and the seller will be legally obliged to sell the property. To ensure that the successful bidder proceeds, the buyer is automatically charged a holding deposit, which is held in a secure client account, pursuant to the terms of a holding deposit agreement.
* Pricing Information
The Guide Price amount specified is an indication of each seller's minimum expectation. It is not necessarily the amount at which the property will sell. Each property will be offered subject to a Reserve (a figure below which the property will not be sold) which we expect will be set no more than 10% above the Guide Price amount.
