5 Bedroom Detached House for sale in Leigh

Northgate on Leigh Road is situated within Atherton, which is a great commuter area towards Manchester with motorway and train links around 4 and 2.5 miles respectively.
Likely to have been first constructed during the 1930s the property has subsequently been extended and adapted and sits within a generous plot size of approximately just under 0.4 acres.
Sadly, in recent years the home has fallen into a state of disrepair and therefore we seek a buyer who will look to comprehensively renovate the subject and enjoy the benefits of the large garden or alternatively consider demolishion and redevelopment of the site in its entirety. There is potential to carve up the plot and build a fresh dwelling or dwellings whilst potential for conversion to the likes of a nursery, set of offices or similar are self evident.
Our clients have employed the services of a planning consultant who have provided the following comments
1. I have undertaken a desk top appraisal of the site edged red on the plan below (land registry plan provided by Lancasters). I have not visited the site and have not seen the property.
2. I have assessed the site against the Policies Map and I can confirm that the site falls within the urban area. Leigh Road is part of the Strategic Route Network and the land to south is designated as Green Belt.
The Council have confirmed that none of the trees are protected and the site does not fall within a Conservation Area (which would afford the trees a level of protection).
The property is not listed and the site falls within Flood Zone 1.
The only planning history for the site, evident on Wigan’s Planning Portal is application reference A/98/49546 to ‘extend dwellinghouse (single storey side extension)’ which was approved in November 1998.
The site is sustainably located with bus stops in close proximity. The surrounding area is residential in character with a mix of bungalows and two storey properties.
Taking all the above into account, my professional opinion is that the principle of redevelopment of the site for residential purposes should be acceptable, subject to detailed matters including: design, privacy distances and amenity space requirements, access and parking, ecology and biodiversity net gain and drainage, being acceptable.
The site is approximately 0.16 hectare, which based on a density of 30 houses per hectare, would equate to a maximum of 5 houses.
Kindly note that NONE of the vehicles are included within the sale.
