Abandoned Farm - Alderley Edge - Revist & Pics.

Thanks for all the advice and info on the previous thread!

As instructed, my friend (and fellow derelict dweller) and I revisited the farm yesterday to take some pics and do a bit more investigating. We had lunch in the nearby pub (purely for research purposes of course!) and asked for some info whilst there. According to the guy who served us, the farm has been derelict for about 6 years after being purchased for a HUGE amount of money and having had redevelopment plans refused due to being on National Trust land. Not sure how much I believe tbh, it doesnt look like its been unloved for 6 years - the house is still pretty intact (apart from the windows that have been dutifully 'attended to' by the local desirables no doubt). The farm/outbuildings look very sad though.

Cast your eyes.....

More to follow

That looks a pretty interesting place to visit and not too far from us may have to a have mooch here, did you get in the house or other buildings then?

Sadly we couldnt get into the house - it was boarded up pretty well & I think someone had tried to get in via the main front door. Getting into the barns/outbuildings was hassle free though, the doors were wide open (or absent). Getting into the pool room would be possible if you were happy to climb through broken windows - sadly I wasnt that brave!

Good Luck!

Well done for getting back there,its a shame its been left to rot.

Hahahhahaa I worked for the guy that owned this place, he was a cock I'm glad to see it empty

Nice report it's cheered my right up

Hello all, first post here.

I stumbled across this site whilst doing a google search for derelict properties within the area and just happened to search this forum for 'Cheshire' and stumbled across this which interests me hugely as I live locally. Strangely, I did a few outings of 'urbexing' a couple of years back but it was mainly abseiling down mines, typically in Wales. I don't do it any more after a chain I was holding snapped after 2 people had gone about 20' down off it, it kind of scared me and put me off when I reflected on some previous scenarios I had been in when relying on similar things. Plus I have always been into buildings, not disused mines. LMAO.

Jemharq, it looks as though the guy in the pub doesn't have all the facts to be honest as upon searching house prices in the area via a map nothing at all shows up in that vacinity and it's supposed to go back to 1995. On the face of it, it's 17 years since it changed hands although it may have been rented whilst trying to obtain permission? If you have the full address I will happily pay the fees to the land registry (just tried to now via an arial search but you cannot do it online on a Sunday!) for a search which may shine some more light on who owns it, what it changed hands for and any covenants etc.



I will try having a search for planning proposals in the morning.

Regards, Wayne.

Limecat; really sorry for this late reply! Thanks so much for the info & all your hardwork! I cant find an address anywhere for this property. Even on the building itself and surrounding walls there are no hints as to the name. The only clue I have is from a pic taken (not displayed) with the words 'Challinor & Sons Builders Goostrey'.

Keep me updated

I need to check my dates !, well done this seems one to see .
