Land on Wilton Avenue, Wigan, Greater Manchester WN2

Online Auction 11th - 12th August 2026

Freehold Plot Of Land With Development Potential

A freehold parcel of land extending to approximately 350 sqm, situated within a highly sought-after and established residential pocket of Wigan.
The fully enclosed plot benefits from robust local demand across both the private resale and rental sectors, making it an ideal investment asset.
Adding to its appeal, the site offers excellent utility readiness, with mains services already conveniently positioned in the adjacent road, and features a desirable rear aspect that backs directly onto woodland.

The site boasts versatile configuration potential, perfectly suited for the construction of either a substantial four-bedroom detached residence or a pair of semi-detached houses.

Full planning permission was previously granted by the local authority for two semi-detached dwellings under Application Reference: A/19/86719/FULL. While this consent has recently lapsed—meaning the incoming purchaser will need to submit a fresh application—it establishes a strong development precedent for the plot.. Full details of the historic consent can be inspected via the local planning portal.
