Set on just over half an acre in a private road of ten homes, 48 St Andrews Road is a high-calibre redevelopment opportunity in Lostock. The existing 1940 detached house is spacious and privately sited, but the principal value here is the detailed planning already granted for a 10,000 ft² ‘super home’ — a lengthy and costly stage the vendor has completed. Mains services and freehold are in place, simplifying the onward build process for a buyer or developer.
The plot width is notable thanks to an earlier additional land purchase, and the site is generally level and regular in shape. The setting is attractive: golf course frontage, low local crime, excellent mobile signal, and easy access to Lostock mainline station (circa 1 mile) and the M61 (circa 2 miles). Local schools (including Bolton School) and the Middlebrook retail/leisure complex are all within short drives, supporting premium resale prospects.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important. The current property dates from around 1940 and, while presentable, will need updating if retained rather than redeveloped. Broadband speeds are slow in the area; council tax is Band G (£3,628.51) and is comparatively expensive. The site is marketed as a retirement-flagged freehold — buyers should check mortgage or occupancy implications with their lender.
Overall this is a high-potential site for an investor or owner-builder seeking a bespoke, large-scale house in a desirable commuter location. With planning consent and services connected, the opportunity reduces early-stage risk; if a smaller new-build is preferred that is likely achievable subject to usual consents.
