Description

A superb half acre building plot on the towns premier road, with detailed planning consent for a large five bedroom detached house.

Situated on a wide and leafy section of Legh Road, the site is now cleared and vacant with the original property demolished, reducing the stamp duty requirement for an incoming purchaser. Consent has been obtained on the 20th January 2026 (three year consent) planning reference 25/4412/VOC for an impressive and well designed large family house, which extends to circa 5500 square feet. All plans are available here at our offices.
