A DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY WITH PLANNING PERMISSION | £175,000
A development opportunity with planning permission, a substantial 4,413 sq ft plot and an elevated outlook towards the open countryside surrounding Clieves Hill, providing an unusual starting point in one of Aughton's most desirable locations.
Set on Liverpool Road, opposite the impressive Christ Church, the site is approached via an existing right of access from the A59 along the Waterboard track. Its position combines the character of an established site with an attractive semi-rural outlook, creating an opportunity with considerably more to it than simply the existing building.
Planning permission has already been granted for a thoughtfully designed four bedroom detached family home, complete with attached carers accommodation/granny annexe. The approved development has been designed to make the most of the site's elevated position, with extensive views across the surrounding rural landscape providing a particularly appealing backdrop to the proposed home.
The approved plans provide generous and flexible living accommodation, including an open plan kitchen and dining space, multiple bathrooms and private outside space, with the layout carefully considered around both the proportions of the proposed property and the outlook beyond. For anyone looking to create a substantial family home in a highly desirable Aughton setting, the opportunity to bring these plans to life is particularly exciting.
And then there is what is already here.
The site is currently occupied by the former Men's Guild Building, a substantial timber building comprising an impressive main hall, kitchen, storage facilities, toilets and rear hallway, together with existing off-road parking. Occupying an established footprint on the approximately 410 sq m site, the building could provide a useful starting point while the purchaser considers the property's next chapter.
The real attraction, however, lies in the combination of what has already been established and what could ultimately be created. A sizeable plot, existing access, planning permission for a substantial four bedroom detached home with attached carers accommodation/granny annexe, existing parking and an elevated outlook over the countryside surrounding Clieves Hill come together to create a proposition with genuine potential.
For investors and developers, there is also scope to explore alternative possibilities for the existing building and site, including potential commercial use, subject of course to the necessary planning permissions, consents and any required change of use. This provides another avenue for those looking at the property as an investment or development opportunity rather than solely as a residential project.
The location adds another layer to the appeal. Positioned within Aughton, the site enjoys a semi-rural setting whilst remaining within easy reach of Ormskirk and its wide range of shops, cafés, restaurants, schools and everyday amenities. Road and rail connections also provide straightforward access towards Liverpool, Preston and the wider North West.
Whether you are looking to bring the approved four bedroom home and attached annexe to life, make use of the existing building or investigate an alternative future for the site, this is an opportunity that deserves closer consideration.
Planning permission is already granted for the proposed four bedroom detached dwelling with attached carers accommodation/granny annexe. Full planning information and approved plans are available to view. Any alternative use, development or change of use would be subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents.
