Attention investors, builders and speculators!

An exceptional opportunity to acquire this imposing south-facing farmhouse situated in the sought-after area of Grains Bar, enjoying stunning panoramic and unrivalled views across the Northwest of England and extending as far as the Welsh hills. The property requires full renovation or has the potential for redevelopment, subject to the necessary planning consents. For safety and access considerations, internal viewings are unfortunately unavailable. However, we can confirm existing accommodation which is only part of the lot comprises entrance hall, two reception rooms, kitchen area and scullery. The first floor offers three generously sized bedroom and a bathroom area. The property benefits from original fireplaces and stone flagged floors. Attached to the accommodation are the stables, and a substantial double-height barn with mezzanine level to the ground floor. The sale also includes approximately 1.5 acres of land, together with two additional outbuildings. Of further interest, we have been provided with correspondence from OMB relating to previously approved planning permission dating back to 2007, which has since lapsed. The documentation indicates consent had been granted for the conversion of the existing barn and house into three dwellings and a new stable block. The original application also included the conversion of the open hay barn into a carparking area but there could be an opportunity to convert into a further detached dwelling again, subject to the necessary planning consents. Full details will be made available within the legal pack for interested parties to review prior to auction.
