Description

PRIME RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY in Poulton-le-Fylde for Sale.

Situated within an exclusive and highly sought-after semi-rural enclave, accessed via a private lane and enjoying close proximity to the scenic tidal banks of the River Wyre, this exceptional site offers a rare residential development opportunity in one of Lancashire’s most desirable locations.

The property combines the tranquillity and privacy of a countryside setting with excellent connectivity, being conveniently positioned just off the A585, providing direct access to the M55 motorway and within easy reach of the thriving market town of Poulton-le-Fylde and the popular coastal destination of Thornton-Cleveleys.

Outstanding Development Potential
Extending to approximately 4.85 acres, the site presents significant scope for residential redevelopment, subject to the necessary planning consents. Occupying a highly attractive semi-rural position with open fields to the rear, the land currently accommodates an established kennels and cattery business but offers clear long-term potential for transformation into an exclusive residential scheme.

This parcel offers an excellent opportunity for developers seeking a site with potential for a substantial individual executive residence with extensive grounds, or a boutique development of up to three generously proportioned detached family homes (subject to obtaining all necessary planning permissions).
