Description

A fantastic opportunity to acquire a site in a sought-after location. The site has planning in principle for up to 5 dwellings which will be large, high-end executive homes

Set within a desirable rural/semi-rural setting, this exceptional development opportunity offers the perfect balance of countryside tranquillity and modern convenience, with green open spaces, village charm, and a strong lifestyle appeal for families and professionals alike. Despite its peaceful surroundings, the site remains within easy commuting distance of Stockport and Manchester, making it ideally suited to buyers seeking both connectivity and escape.

The area is characterised by strong underlying property values, with neighbouring detached homes achieving premium prices, providing a solid benchmark for the proposed scheme. Planning for just five dwellings creates a sense of exclusivity, allowing the development to be positioned as a boutique collection of high-end homes, further enhanced by the village’s appealing amenities including local pubs, a church, and access to countryside walks.

The proposed circa 2,500 sq ft properties are well aligned with demand for spacious, executive homes finished to a high specification, likely attracting discerning purchasers willing to pay for quality. The scheme is expected to appeal primarily to families and professionals seeking long-term village living rather than high-density or rental accommodation, with strong demand anticipated from commuters desiring space, lifestyle, and a sense of community.

Overall, the development presents an excellent opportunity to deliver premium homes into a market that favours stable, owner-occupied housing in an attractive rural-commuter location.
