Summary - THE EDGE, RIVEREDGE WN3 5AB
1 bed 1 bath Land
Major urban plot with riverside edge in Wigan Pier regeneration area.
Approx 0.93 ha (c.2.29 acres) urban development plot
A rare, substantial urban development parcel of approximately 0.93 hectares (c.2.29 acres) in the Wigan Pier regeneration area. The site is broadly level, regularly shaped and fronts Southgate (A577) with direct vehicular access. The River Douglas forms southern and eastern boundaries, giving a clear natural edge and potential waterside outlook. Adjoining uses include a surfaced car park, commercial/retail buildings, The Edge conference venue and Today’s Community Church; the Cotton Works mixed-use scheme is under construction nearby.
The plot is large for an inner‑conurbation site and offers scope for mixed‑use or residential redevelopment subject to planning. Mobile signal and broadband speeds are strong, and the area benefits from nearby leisure, cultural and transport amenities, plus several local primary and secondary schools rated Good by Ofsted. Flooding risk is recorded as very low, which supports a range of development options.
Material considerations: tenure is not confirmed and purchasers should verify title and any legal constraints before offer. The site is currently rough grass and scrub with no permanent buildings and will require planning consent, services connections and site clearance. The wider area is described as deprived with a local classification of constrained renters, which may affect end‑use and rental/ sales values and should inform viability modelling.
This site will suit an investor or developer able to take a site through planning and remediation to capitalise on ongoing regeneration in the Wigan Pier area. A full site inspection, technical surveys and confirmation of services and tenure are recommended before commitment.
