A rare development opportunity to acquire a prominent former school site in the highly sought-after village of Statham, Lymm.

Occupying a substantial plot on Warrington Road, this former community primary school building now requires complete redevelopment, presenting an exceptional opportunity for developers, investors and self-build purchasers alike.

The property benefits from detailed pre-application discussions with Warrington Borough Council regarding the demolition of the existing structure and redevelopment of the site for residential use. A pre-application proposal for five terraced dwellings has already been reviewed by the Local Planning Authority, with the principle of residential redevelopment accepted and demolition of the existing building considered acceptable in principle, subject to a revised layout and detailed planning submission.

The site occupies a prominent position within the centre of Statham, opposite the current primary school and within easy reach of Lymm village centre, motorway networks and local amenities.

Planning
Pre-application advice has been obtained from Warrington Borough Council under reference PRE/25/00073. The council confirmed that the principle of residential redevelopment is acceptable and that the demolition of the existing building is considered acceptable in planning terms. Purchasers should make their own enquiries regarding planning and development potential.

Location
Statham is one of Cheshire's most desirable residential areas, situated on the edge of Lymm village. The site enjoys a convenient position on Warrington Road close to local schools, shops, cafés and countryside walks, whilst providing excellent commuter access to Warrington, Manchester, Liverpool and the M6, M56 and M62 motorway networks.
