Description
An exceptional opportunity to acquire a stunning building plot in a truly unique location, set in just over 5 acres of beautiful grounds with breathtaking views across the Lancashire plain to the Irish Sea, Morecambe Bay, and the Lake District. The plot has full planning permission granted for a highly sustainable home of architectural distinction to complement its natural surroundings in the heart of rural West Lancashire.
The new home has been designed by award winning Bennetts Associates Architects to utilise the expansive views and seamlessly blend into the countryside. Unusually, the plot currently accommodates two detached properties. While both will need to be demolished, one can remain in place during construction, providing the new owner with the rare flexibility to live beside their future home as it is built.
