Summary - Rock Terrace, Smith Lane, Egerton, Bolton, BL7 BL7 9HA
1 bed 1 bath Plot
Rare 8.5-acre freehold development site with planning for two luxury homes.
Planning approved for two detached homes (5-bed 3,800 sq ft; 4-bed 3,230 sq ft)
An exceptional development parcel close to Bromley Cross and Egerton, this 8.5-acre freehold brownfield site comes with planning approved for two large detached homes designed into the existing quarry face. The approved scheme delivers a 5‑bedroom house of about 3,800 sq ft and a 4‑bedroom house of about 3,230 sq ft, both specified as high‑end eco designs by an established local architect. A private gated driveway provides exclusive access through mature woodland to the cleared building platforms.
This plot will appeal to developers and experienced self‑builders looking for a distinctive ‘grand design’ project in a very affluent, low‑crime area. The setting offers strong privacy and a striking stone-faced backdrop that lends itself to bespoke, high-value homes. The site is sold with Bolton Council planning information (reference 18072/24) and the potential for two additional detached dwellings subject to further permissions.
Buyers should be clear about the work required: this is a substantial development project on a former quarry site. While planning is approved for two large houses, groundwork, specialist construction considerations and full build costs are not included. Tenure details are not confirmed in the particulars; purchasers must verify title, services and any planning conditions before exchange.
Offered at £895,000, this rare woodland plot provides a canvas for premium homes with eco credentials and strong long‑term value potential, but it is best suited to those with development experience and budget for complex site works.
