A rare developer opportunity: this Gothic Revival detached house sits on a very large, c.1-acre plot with four properties and clear potential for additional development subject to planning permission (STPP). The Manor House itself offers eight bedrooms, eight bathrooms and five reception rooms, retaining original period features and double glazing added after 2002. A private road and mature grounds give strong privacy and scope for a high-value scheme in Bolton.
The property requires a full renovation throughout — structural, services and internal refurbishment will be necessary. Walls are original sandstone/limestone with assumed no insulation and the listing notes the building dates to before 1900; buyers should factor extensive works and conservation-sensitive repairs into budgets. Sale by auction carries a non-refundable reservation fee and tight timescales; due diligence is essential.
Location benefits include walking distance to several primary and secondary schools, good local amenities, very low crime and fast broadband/mobile signal. The plot size, private access and off-street parking are standout value drivers for a developer or ambitious private buyer seeking an exclusive, secluded scheme close to town. The site’s surrounding area shows higher deprivation metrics, which may influence planning or grant opportunities and local market pricing.
This lot is best suited to a developer, renovator or buyer prepared for a major project. Expect to engage architects and planning consultants early to test development options STPP. The property could be transformed into an exceptional residence or subdivided into multiple homes if planning approval is secured.
