Summary - WHATEVER, TOP LOCKS, WHEAT LANE L40 4BF
3 bed 1 bath Plot
Rare 5.56-acre plot with planning consent and equestrian facilities in semi-rural Burscough..
Circa 5.56 acre freehold plot with equestrian facilities
A rare residential development plot of circa 5.56 acres on the edge of Burscough, benefitting from full planning consent (West Lancashire ref: 2024/0961/FUL) for a bespoke three-bedroom home. The site already includes equestrian facilities, a private driveway from School Lane and generous, uninterrupted countryside views — a strong proposition for buyers seeking a substantial rural plot with permitted development in place.
The approved scheme provides spacious living areas, two reception rooms, a home office and an open-plan kitchen, with a master bedroom and en-suite upstairs. The plot is freehold and lies within a short distance of village amenities, good-rated primary schools and two railway stations, making it suitable for families seeking a rural lifestyle with reasonable links to nearby towns.
Key practical points are straightforward: broadband speeds are very slow across the site and expansion to a larger five-bedroom home would require additional planning consents. Flood risk is low and mobile signal is excellent. The size and equestrian provision create clear options for hobby farming, equestrian use or a long-term development investment.
Buyers should note the property is being offered as a development plot — the consented house is a proposed scheme rather than an existing dwelling. Any purchaser wanting to alter the approved design, increase bedroom count, or add further buildings must secure the appropriate consents from the local planning authority. Overall, this is a significant plot with pronounced development and lifestyle potential, set in an affluent, low-crime village location.
