Holly Bush

Description

17th Century former public house & restaurant of Cheshire brick part rendered elevations beneath a part thatched multi-pitched roofline set upon lawned gardens extending to approximately c.0.3 acres. The former Holly Bush, Little Leigh, Northwich is a substantial former public house occupying a prominent position within the desirable Cheshire village of Little Leigh. Set within an attractive rural and predominantly residential location, the property benefits from a peaceful countryside setting while remaining close to Northwich and the wider Cheshire road network. Rich in character and local heritage, the former Holly Bush presents a versatile opportunity for redevelopment or alternative use, subject to the necessary consents, including potential residential conversion or the re-establishment of a hospitality offering. Its village location, accessibility and surrounding affluent catchment make it a property with considerable future potential. The thatched roof was replaced in 2024.
