This is a substantial 3.88-acre (1.57 ha) residential development opportunity on the settlement boundary of Eccleston, with unbroken southerly views towards Southport and immediate adjacency to Redrow’s Woodland Chase. The site comprises three freehold titles and includes a large, character cottage with outbuildings, manicured gardens and two existing access points from Tincklers Lane — all within an affluent, low-crime area and close to local amenities and good schools.
The land is identified in policy BNE3 as Areas of Safeguarded Land for Future Development Needs; the adjoining parcel already secures 80 dwellings with Redrow. This position offers potential for residential allocation in future plans but carries no automatic planning consent. Interested parties should treat the site as a development plot with planning risk and carry out their own due diligence with the local planning authority.
Practical positives: mains gas, electricity and drainage are connected; the property is held across three titles (LAN150596, LAN30557, LAN30558); and the vendor will accept conditional or unconditional offers. Material cautions: the cottage is a pre-1900 solid brick building with no assumed insulation, the single-bedroom dwelling has an EPC D (68), services and appliances have not been tested, and some legal and selling costs (seller’s legal costs and agent’s fee at 1.5% + VAT) are payable by the purchaser. Viewings are roadside only — entry to the site is at viewers’ risk.
