Higher Lane, Lymm, WA13

An attractive period house occupying a generous plot of approximately 1.15 acres on the outskirts of Lymm, offered for sale together with a substantial detached garage building incorporating an excellent two-storey element with further accommodation potential.

The property requires a comprehensive and complete scheme of modernisation and refurbishment and offers considerable scope for extension, or potentially offers a wider development opportunity, subject in all cases to the necessary planning consents.

It occupies a particularly appealing position on the outskirts of Lymm, with convenient access to Altrincham and the wider motorway network. The house enjoys lovely open views across fields to the front, whilst the extensive private grounds adjoin open farmland to the rear, providing a wonderful sense of space and privacy.

Having remained in the same family ownership for many years, the property now requires a complete programme of modernisation and improvement. The existing house extends to approximately 2,000 sq ft, with accommodation arranged over three floors, providing three reception rooms and five bedrooms. There is considerable potential to reconfigure and improve the existing accommodation, together with the possibility of extending the house significantly beyond its current footprint.

In addition, an extension was started some years ago adjoining the house, although this was never completed, and the structure is now understood to be unsafe (and shouldn’t be accessed at this time). It was proposed we understand to add three bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen/dining room and a reception room. We understand from the owners that planning permission was originally sought and approved in connection with these works, although this has not been verified with the local authority.

Of particular interest is the substantial detached double garage building with adjacent workshop and which incorporates a sizeable first floor, offering excellent potential for additional accommodation, ancillary living space or possibly a separate dwelling, subject to the appropriate consents.

The property represents a particularly interesting opportunity, whether for a purchaser wishing to create a substantial individual home within generous private grounds, or for a developer or investor looking to explore the wider potential of the site, including the possibility of a more comprehensive redevelopment, subject entirely to planning permission.

Unconditional offers only are sought.
