Land at the rear of former Golden Ball Hotel, School Lane, Pilling, PR3 6AA
No inspected by Edward Mellor. An excellent opportunity to acquire a substantial freehold residential development site extending to approximately 1.7 acres, situated in the desirable rural village of Pilling.
The site benefits from full planning permission (Ref: 22/01005/FULMAJ) granted for:
2 x Three-bedroom detached bungalows
8 x Three-bedroom semi-detached houses
8 x Two-bedroom semi-detached houses
The approved scheme comprises 18 dwellings, including affordable housing provision, and represents a substantial multi-unit residential development opportunity.
Comparable new-build housing in the surrounding area supports strong end sale values, offering attractive gross development value potential and margin opportunity for developers. Although direct new-build comparables within Pilling itself are limited, wider market evidence from both modern and traditional housing in the surrounding area supports anticipated end values broadly in the region of £220,000 to £300,000+ per unit, subject to specification and purchaser verification.
The completed units would also present strong rental appeal, with estimated rental values broadly ranging from £900 – £1,300 per calendar month depending on house type and specification.
Pilling is a popular semi-rural location positioned within reach of Garstang, Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancaster and Blackpool, providing strong appeal to the family housing market.
The original planning permission formed part of a wider scheme including the former Golden Ball Public House located to the front of the site. The public house element is being progressed separately by the current owners, with a discharge and variation of conditions application submitted (Ref: 24/01053). The residential development land to the rear benefits from the full planning consent as detailed and is being offered for sale independently.
