About this property
Proposition
Kenneymoore are delighted to offer this substantial property for sale with vacant possession.
Hilliards Court is now situate in the very heart of the Chester Business Park which, in total extends to over 175 Acres of Grade A Offices located on the south of the City with excellent connections to the A55 and motorway networks.
This substantial two storey former farm building forms part of a larger development of brick buildings originally built by renowned Chester Architect, John Douglas for the 1st duke of Westminster as a Model Farm, and constructed between 1887-1884. These impressive buildings still retaining much of their original features, were sensitively adapted and converted to office use about 30 years ago.
This property has, in the past been occupied by multiple businesses sharing the common part facilities, and its internal arrangement, with two separate staircases, and 7 ground floor access doors would make that a realistic and viable proposition for its new owner if required.
This rarely available building has the additional benefits of being set in extensive managed landscaped grounds and is offered with the benefit of 27 separate car spaces.
