Vacant detached house with land and development options — sold by auction..
2‑bed detached house with external garage on ~0.12 acre plot
Lot 1 at 164 Swanlow Lane is a mid‑20th century, two‑bedroom detached house on a large 0.12 acre plot with an external garage. The property currently requires modernization and the garden and garage are overgrown and in need of repair—making it suitable for a developer, investor or a buyer comfortable with a renovation project. The house is currently vacant and sold freehold at auction.
The vendor has commissioned drawings for two alternative development schemes: demolition and construction of two four‑bedroom detached houses, or construction of a single four‑bedroom detached dwelling adjacent to the existing home. A planning application for Permission in Principle is due to be submitted imminently, but planning is not guaranteed and prospective buyers should conduct their own due diligence.
This lot is offered for sale by auction with a 10% deposit (minimum £3,000) payable on exchange and a buyer administration fee of £1,800 (including VAT). EPC rating D (potential to improve to C). Local amenities are convenient: Winsford town centre is about 1.7 miles away, good road links include the A54 and M6 nearby, and Winsford station is within a short drive. Low local crime, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support residential or rental use prospects.
This opportunity suits developers, small builders or investor buyers who can manage refurbishment or pursue the proposed development schemes. Be aware of the auction process commitments, purchaser costs, and that planning and final GDV figures are estimates provided by the vendor and should be independently verified.
