POTENTIAL RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY SUBJECT TO PLANNING.
Description
A rare opportunity to acquire a freehold residential development site situated within the highly regarded suburban district of Whitefield.
Key features:
Approximately 0.15 acres (0.06 hectares).
Established and affluent Whitefield location.
Direct frontage and access from Westlands.
Brownfield infill development opportunity.
Strong local housing demand.
Excellent access to Manchester City Centre and motorway networks.
Previous residential planning history.
Services available nearby.
Vacant possession upon completion.
The site extends to approximately 0.15 acres (0.06 hectares) and comprises a generally level, regular-shaped parcel of brownfield land occupying a prominent position fronting Westlands within an established residential neighbourhood. The plot benefits from direct road access and is bounded by existing residential properties, providing an attractive infill development opportunity within a mature and desirable setting.
Location:
Westlands is a residential road located within the Whitefield area of Greater Manchester, approximately 6 miles north of Manchester city centre. The Land falls within the Metropolitan Borough of Bury and the surrounding area is predominantly residential, characterised by detached and semi-detached housing with nearby mature greenery and open space.
The surrounding area is characterised by established family housing and benefits from excellent connectivity to Manchester City Centre, the M60 and M66 motorway networks, and nearby Metrolink services. Whitefield continues to experience strong residential demand, supported by its excellent transport links, local amenities, schools and access to major employment centres throughout Greater Manchester.
The site at 6 Westlands occupies a substantial plot with an overgrown rear garden area enclosed by timber fencing and mature vegetation, providing a good degree of privacy. The land includes grassed and hardstanding areas with potential for landscaping or redevelopment, subject to the necessary consents.
Historically, the site has been the subject of several planning applications for residential development, including consent for a detached dwelling and a subsequent approval for a four-apartment scheme. Whilst previous permissions have now lapsed, the planning history demonstrates the site's established residential development potential, subject to obtaining all necessary statutory consents.
The land is currently vacant and cleared of permanent structures, offering purchasers a blank canvas for redevelopment. Services are understood to be readily available in the immediate vicinity, including mains electricity, water, gas, drainage and telecommunications connections.
Given its size, configuration and location, the site is considered suitable for a range of residential development proposals, including a bespoke detached dwelling, executive family home, or a small-scale residential scheme, subject to planning permission.
The surrounding area is predominantly residential in character, consisting mainly of detached and semi-detached housing typical of the locality. The property benefits from off-road parking and convenient access to local amenities and transport links.
The Land benefits from convenient access to the A56, M60, and M66 motorway networks, providing good connections across Greater Manchester. Public transport links are available via local bus routes and nearby Manchester Metrolink stops at Whitefield and Besses o' th' Barn, offering regular services into Manchester city centre and surrounding areas.
