A rare freehold opportunity to acquire a prominently positioned parcel of land extending to approximately 900 sq m (0.24 acres), shown edged in red on the plan. The site occupies a distinctive wedge-shaped plot with direct access from Warrington Road and a section of existing hardstanding currently used for parking, with the remainder presently wooded/overgrown.
A key feature is the plot's attractive setting: it runs down to the Leeds & Liverpool Canal, offering the potential for a waterside aspect and an appealing outlook once selectively cleared and managed. The mature tree boundary provides a useful degree of natural screening, while the roadside position offers excellent visibility and convenient day-to-day access.
The land is considered suitable for a variety of uses, subject to obtaining all necessary consents (STPP), including:
* Residential development
* Secure parking/vehicle storage compound (cars, vans, minibuses)
* Trade counter/contractor yard, storage and distribution base
* Vehicle-related uses such as valeting/detailing, car sales display, bodyshop/repair yard, tyre/exhaust, etc.
* Garages, workshop units, container storage or small warehouse (where appropriate)
* Potential canal-side leisure/amenity uses (e.g., mooring-related/storage/ancillary uses), subject to the relevant consents/agreements
An excellent "add-value" plot with immediate income potential from parking/yard use and longer-term development prospects in a highly accessible position. Viewing recommended.
