A cleared brownfield parcel in a tree-lined valley, Edenwood Lane offers a rare chance to deliver a residential scheme in Ramsbottom. The site extends to roughly 3.14 acres with an adjoining expansion parcel of about 3.877 acres, presenting scope for phased housing on levelled plateaus and sloping terraces. Mature woodland and an attractive stream provide strong visual screening and countryside character, useful for amenity space and privacy for new homes.
The land is allocated for residential development and has been cleared following demolition of the former mill, reducing early demolition risk. Vehicular access is indicated from Bolton Road North and the site topography already includes prepared plateaus suitable for building platforms. Local services are good — fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, low crime and nearby schools (several rated Good) make the location attractive to families and owner-occupiers.
Developers should allow for groundwork works: earthworks, drainage upgrades, and access improvements are likely given the sloping ground and former industrial use. Planning status: the site is allocated and an attached plan shows potential developable acreage, but formal application/approval status is not specified — purchasers must confirm planning consent and any green belt change requirements.
This is primarily an investment/development opportunity: use the existing screening and valley setting to create a sensitive housing scheme with strong market appeal, while budgeting for remediation, infrastructure and planning costs. The cleared, accessible site and generous plot size reduce early holding costs and offer clear scope for a medium/large residential project.
