A freehold plot adjoining the historic Victoria Mill on Parr Lane, Bury, offers a low-cost development entry in a well-connected Greater Manchester location. The site sits within an affluent community with strong transport links to Bury Interchange and Manchester via Metrolink and nearby motorways, and benefits from very low local crime and good nearby schools.
The plot has potential for residential, commercial or mixed-use schemes subject to obtaining planning permission (STPP). Its position next to an characterful mill could suit sensitive conversion-led development or a small new-build project that responds to local context. Mobile signal is excellent; broadband speeds are average.
Buyers should note this is being sold by online auction with a guide price of £3,500 and a buyer’s premium and possible additional fees. The vendor is a connected party. Any development will require planning approval and due diligence on boundaries, services and historic-site constraints before committing.
This opportunity is most relevant to investors, developers or self-builders seeking a low-entry site with heritage adjacency and good transport links. It offers clear upside if planning consent is achieved, but requires time, cost and risk to secure permissions and necessary infrastructure.
