Description
Ben Rose Estate Agents are pleased to present to market this exceptional residential development opportunity extending to approximately 1.7 acres, situated in a sought-after semi-rural position on Back Lane in Clayton-Le-Woods. Set at the end of an access track, the site offers an exciting opportunity for developers, with the proposed development providing 10 dwellings in total, comprising eight detached properties and two semi-detached dwellings.
The site benefits from Permission in Principle for the construction of up to seven detached dwellings, whilst the sale also includes two existing buildings with full planning permission for conversion into three residential dwellings. This established planning position significantly enhances the overall development opportunity, with the larger existing building benefiting from permission to be converted into two semi-detached homes, alongside the additional building providing a further residential dwelling.
The existing farmhouse is being retained and is not included within the sale, although it may be available via separate negotiation, providing a further potential opportunity for interested parties. The land included within the sale is outlined in red on the accompanying plans and benefits from an established planning history, including previous permissions relating to the replacement of the farmhouse and the conversion of existing barns and agricultural buildings.
Conveniently positioned for access to Clayton-Le-Woods, Chorley and Leyland, the site is within easy reach of a range of local amenities, schools, shops and public transport links, whilst also benefiting from the surrounding countryside and nearby Cuerden Valley. Excellent transport connections provide access to the M6, M61 and wider North West motorway network, making the location particularly attractive to future purchasers.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial development site with the potential for 10 dwellings in total, including eight detached and two semi-detached properties, with planning already in place for the conversion of the two existing buildings. Further information can be found on the Chorley Council website using the planning reference below.
