Summary - SMITHY COTTAGE, GARSTANG BY PASS ROAD, PRESTON, CHURCHTOWN PR3 0HQ
1 bed 1 bath Residential Development
Large industrial plot with residential development potential close to Garstang and motorway links.
Circa 390m² former light industrial building on 0.30 acre plot
A substantial circa 390m² former light industrial building set within about 0.30 acres, offered Freehold with clear development potential. The site sits on a quiet cul-de-sac off the A6 near Garstang, with good links to the M6 and M55 and convenient access to local shops and amenities. The established rural setting and surrounding selective new housing lend the plot attractive residential appeal.
Detailed planning permission to demolish and build two semi‑detached 2‑bed homes plus a detached 2‑bed home recently lapsed (2 Feb 2025), making this a good opportunity for a developer or investor to resubmit or amend proposals. The existing structure is robust and industrial in character, suitable for redevelopment but requiring full conversion or demolition to realise residential use.
Important constraints: the site is in a high flood‑risk area and planning has lapsed, so purchaser due diligence on flood mitigation, insurance, and planning viability is essential. Services, access arrangements, and any remediation for previous industrial use should be confirmed before committing.
For an investor or developer targeting small-scale residential schemes in a semi-rural, affluent catchment, this parcel offers scale, location and road connectivity. With clear potential for a sensitive housing scheme and private gardens, the plot could deliver three family homes subject to planning and flood resilience measures.
