Approximately 7.7 acres of freehold land on Bury & Rochdale Old Road offers a rare rural-fringe holding suited to a range of uses from private amenity to development subject to consents. The parcel is mainly grassland with tree and shrub borders, an established title plan and pedestrian access from Rochdale Old Road. Broadband and mobile signal are reported strong, and there is no recorded flood risk.
The site’s strengths are its size, clear title and transport links to Bury and Rochdale, plus nearby primary and secondary schools with good Ofsted outcomes. The plot would suit someone seeking a large countryside asset close to town-fringe amenities — investors, land bankers or buyers with a bespoke project in mind.
Important practical points: the land is overgrown and undeveloped and will require clearance and basic site preparation. No planning permission or statutory consents are known or included; any change of use or building would rely on applying to the local authority. The surrounding area is classified as deprived, which may influence planning decisions and local demand.
Buyers should factor in costs for access improvements, surveys, ecological and tree assessments and any remediation or utilities connections. The title plan is available for inspection; viewings or further enquiries should be used to verify boundaries, access rights and development potential.
