Description
FOR SALE
Land fronting Manchester Shipping Canal
1.50 acres
The land comprises a rectangular shaped, partly surfaced site with frontage along the Manchester Shipping Canal. The site also benefits from a perimeter fence and a small jetty.
The land is situated in a prominent position along the Manchester Shipping Canal, with frontage to Bridgewater Expressway (A558), which in turn provides access to J11 and J12 of the M56 motorway to the south.
Road communications have been enhanced following the completion Mersey Gateway project which comprises a 6-lane toll bridge over the River Mersey between the towns of Runcorn and Widnes. The bridge provides fast access to the Knowsley Expressway / M57 and M62 motorways, meaning Liverpool, St Helens and Warrington are easy to reach.

Flood Risk
Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.
