Introducing an exceptional opportunity to acquire Solaria Villa, one of just two bespoke new build homes, exclusively developed by the highly regarded Embey Homes. Set within a rural and affluent pocket of Cheshire, yet within easy reach of larger towns and excellent transport links, this exciting development offers the rare chance to design your own home. It’s like a "self-build without the stress" — combining the excitement of creating a truly personal home with the reassurance of working alongside an experienced, trusted local developer.

Solaria Villa offers a generous four-bedroom home extending to 2,000 sq ft, designed with modern family living at its heart. The open-plan layout provides a light, sociable space ideal for both everyday life and entertaining, while the luxurious principal bedroom suite — complete with dressing room and private en-suite — offers a genuine sense of retreat.

One of the standout features of this home is the level of personalisation on offer. From kitchens and bathrooms to flooring and tiling, purchasers will have the opportunity to handpick every detail, tailoring the finish of their new home to suit their own taste and lifestyle from the very outset. For those wanting even more space, there is also the exciting option to add a third floor within the roof space, either incorporated now during the build process or retained as a future expansion opportunity.

Sustainability and modern living have been carefully considered throughout, with the home benefiting from underfloor heating, an EV charging point, and solar panels, helping to reduce running costs and environmental impact for years to come. Buyers can also purchase with confidence thanks to the inclusion of a 10-year new build warranty.

Set back to enjoy far-reaching views across open farmland and the rolling Cheshire countryside, the setting is undeniably special. Despite its peaceful, rural feel, the location remains wonderfully connected to everyday amenities, sitting close to an equestrian centre, the much-loved local village pub The Bears Head, and a primary school, with the historic Brereton Hall and the tranquil Brereton Nature Reserve also nearby — perfect for country walks and outdoor pursuits.

Build completion is expected in summer 2027, giving purchasers ample time to plan and personalise their new home from the ground up. This is a truly rare opportunity to secure a high-specification, individually tailored new build home in one of Cheshire's most desirable rural settings — early interest is strongly recommended.

🏠𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 - 𝗧𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝟱𝘁𝗵 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲.

Do you have a residential property, land or commercial premises that you are looking to sell by auction?

We are inviting lots for our auction on 5th November 2026.

Here are 10 reasons why an auction sale could work for you:

𝟭. 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲
Once the hammer falls, the buyer is legally committed to completing the purchase, subject to the auction terms. This provides considerably more certainty than a conventional sale, where a buyer can withdraw before exchange of contracts.

𝟮. 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗱
Auction can substantially reduce the time between marketing a property and exchanging contracts. The auction date creates a clear timetable and completion can follow relatively quickly.

𝟯. 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲
Rather than negotiating with one buyer, an auction encourages competing buyers to bid against each other. If several buyers are interested, this competition can push the final price above the seller's expectations.

𝟰. 𝗔 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀
All interested buyers have the opportunity to participate on the same terms. The bidding process is open and transparent, giving the seller confidence that the market has established the price.

𝟱. 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗽𝘀 𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲
An auction allows the market to determine what a property is worth to motivated buyers at that particular time. This can be particularly useful for unusual, investment or development properties where comparable sales may be difficult to identify.

𝟲. 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸
Auction can be well suited to properties that need refurbishment, modernisation or have other characteristics that might make them less attractive to conventional buyers. It brings the property directly to investors, developers and cash buyers who are comfortable assessing potential.

𝟳. 𝗜𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀
Land, building plots, development opportunities and properties with planning potential can generate significant competition at auction, particularly where several buyers see different opportunities for the site.

𝟴. 𝗔 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆
Having a fixed auction date encourages prospective buyers to make decisions rather than simply watching a property on the market. This can generate stronger engagement and more serious enquiries.

𝟵. 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗮 𝘄𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗯𝘂𝘆𝗲𝗿𝘀
Auction marketing can reach investors, developers, owner-occupiers, land buyers and other specialist purchasers who may not necessarily engage with a traditional private treaty sale.

𝟭𝟬. 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝗴𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀
The auction process avoids lengthy back and forth negotiations over price. The reserve price protects the seller, while competitive bidding determines the outcome.
