Description
For sale by Auction on 28 September 2026.
A freehold parcel of land extending to approximately 0.9 acres, situated in a well-regarded and established residential location in Padiham. The site presents an attractive opportunity for developers and investors alike, comprising a parcel to the east with the benefit of planning permission for the construction of 5 townhouses, together with a larger section of land to the west which is not included within the current consented scheme but may offer further potential, subject to all necessary consents.
The property occupies a convenient position fronting Grove Lane, in an area considered well suited to residential development. The sale therefore offers an excellent opportunity for a purchaser to progress the existing consented development whilst also exploring the longer-term potential of the adjoining land. We understand the larger western parcel has previously been assessed positively within the SHLAA, which may provide further encouragement to parties considering the wider development prospects of the site, although all parties should rely on their own investigations.
