THE LAND
A regular, level parcel of freehold land extending to approximately 649 sq m (6,987 sq ft). It lies directly alongside existing homes on Oak Avenue and Kinross Close and is currently vacant grassland, with mature hedgerows and fencing along its boundaries. Oak Avenue is to the south, the gardens of homes on Summerseat Lane are to the north, and there is open green space to the east. The site lies at an elevation of about 141 to 146 metres. Neighbouring residential roads include Haworth Avenue, Beauly Close, Aviemore Close and Hawthorn Avenue.

Because the land sits within an established residential area, it may interest builders, developers and private buyers looking to create a single home with generous gardens or a small residential scheme, subject to planning permission.

PLANNING
The land is sold without planning permission. The local planning authority is Bury Metropolitan Borough Council, and any development will need planning consent. Before bidding, buyers should check the current development plan, any constraints and the planning history on the council's planning portal.

SERVICES
Not known. Buyers must make their own enquiries of the utility providers.

LOCATION
Ramsbottom is a popular market town in the Irwell Valley, within the Bury Metropolitan Borough. It is known for its independent shops and restaurants and for the East Lancashire Railway, and the West Pennine Moors are close by. The town has good road and public transport links to Bury, Bolton and the wider Manchester area, with the M66 within easy reach. St Joseph's RC Primary and St Andrew's CE Primary are nearby, as are supermarkets including Aldi, Asda, Co-op, Lidl, Morrisons and Tesco.

TENURE
Freehold, with vacant possession on completion.

VIEWING
The land may be inspected from Oak Avenue at any reasonable time during daylight hours. Anyone entering the land does so entirely at their own risk.
