Summary - WHATEVER, TOP LOCKS, WHEAT LANE L40 4BF
3 bed 1 bath Plot
Create a bespoke family home on expansive grounds with stables and countryside views.
Circa 5.56 acre freehold plot with established equestrian facilities
An exceptional development plot of circa 5.56 acres on the edge of Burscough, offered with full planning consent for a bespoke three-bedroom detached house (West Lancashire ref 2024/0961/FUL). The site includes established equestrian facilities, a private driveway from School Lane and generous outdoor space with countryside and canal views. The freehold plot is substantial and highly unusual in this sought-after semi-rural setting.
The approved scheme provides about 2,493 sqft of accommodation across a multi-story layout: entrance hall, two reception rooms, open-plan kitchen, home office, utility and ground-floor WC, plus a master suite with en-suite, two further doubles and a family bathroom. The consented design also includes parking and a garage. There is scope to seek further consents to extend the scheme to a five-bedroom home, subject to planning approval.
Practical considerations are stated plainly: broadband speeds at the site are very slow despite excellent mobile signal, and any expansion beyond the current consent will require additional planning permission. The equestrian facilities and expansive grounds will require regular maintenance and management. One nearby secondary school has an Inadequate Ofsted rating; several other local primary and secondary schools are rated Good.
This plot will suit a buyer seeking a high‑value bespoke new home or an experienced developer/investor able to manage rural servicing and planning matters. Flood risk is recorded as none, crime is low and the area is very affluent — making this a rare opportunity to create a substantial family residence or an upmarket rural dwelling close to village amenities and two railway stations.
