ANYONE looking to start their own upmarket Airbnb around Malpas can do so, provided they have £1.2 million to hand.

That’s the price for a former farmhouse, currently listed with estate agent Savills, in a hamlet close to the Cheshire village and up for sale.

According to the upmarket estate agent, the five-bedroom farmhouse in Hampton Bye, in Hampton, sits within a four-acre farm with its own swimming pool.

And if that was not enough, anyone who takes over the property can utilise the extra space to attract overnight guests and tourists to the area.

Whitchurch Herald:

A spokesman for Savills said: “The current owners have been granted permission for significant extension and alteration of the accommodation last year which could pave the way for alternative use by its owners.

Whitchurch Herald:

“It is a five-bedroom house with accommodation which is divided between the main property and a two-storey outbuilding which is attached via a glazed link and it is thought the approved plan could see the property become home for multigenerational living or secondary accommodation which would be rented out.

“The home enjoys unspoilt views of the Bickerton Hills and the surrounding south Cheshire countryside."

Whitchurch Herald:

Charlie Kannreuther, director in the residential sales team at Savills in Chester is handling the sale and believes it is a very good opportunity.

Whitchurch Herald:

He said: "There is a seamless flow of accommodation at Hampton Bye which connects so well with the outside space on offer.

"The proposed alterations to the property will only enhance this even further, which makes a very exciting prospect for the next owners."
