Chorley Road, Withnell, Chorley, Lancashire

A fabulous development opportunity with so much potential to unlock! The existing former farmhouse has a traditional brick barn which has planning consent for conversion to two homes. There is further consent for either one larger or two smaller homes. All of this is set in 0.66 acres OTA.
Set in a picturesque hamlet within the sought after area of Withnell Fold, this fabulous development plot offers the very best of semi-rural living whilst being conveniently positioned for Chorley and Blackburn, and access to the motorway network. Locally, there are a plethora of public footpaths offering beautiful country walks through farmland and canal towpaths.

Approached from Withnell Fold along a road that passes through rolling countryside to the farmyard. There is hard standing and stone area at the front of the farmhouse and building. The farmhouse sits at the front of the farm. This character property enjoys flexible space which has potential to be altered and improved throughout. Currently the internal space include; sitting room, lounge, pantry, kitchen, rear boot room, cloakroom to the ground floor, with four bedrooms and a family bathroom to the first floor. There are lawned gardens to the rear and parking at the front.

The farm buildings include an attached brick built barn which now has planning consent to alter into two dwellings.

Adjacent to the farm building, planning consent has been gained for one much larger home or two individual homes.

The property for sale is shown edged red on the plan labelled ‘Boundary Plan’ shown overleaf (rather than the planning documents). The remaining land will be retained by the vendor.

A right of access will be given across the track from Withnell Fold. The former access is not to be used.

The vendors are willing to accommodate the BNG allocation on alternative land retained by themselves – please note that this would need to be approved by Chorley Borough Council Planning
