This 20.55-acre holding at Spout Fold Farm offers a rare combination of open agricultural land and a planning-ready development parcel. Planning permission (ref. 94293/15) permits restoration of three barns and replacement of a building to create four dwellings; a lawful development certificate (04876/18) confirms implementation was started. The approved development area is approximately 0.94 acres within the larger farm holding, giving scope for both development and retained farmland or amenity space.
The site sits on grade 3 agricultural land on the edge of Over Hulton, around 3.5 miles from Bolton town centre and close to M61 junctions 3 and 4, with regular local bus services. The country-park setting brings rural views and seclusion while remaining accessible to regional centres — a practical draw for small developers or owner-occupiers seeking a private new build or barn conversions.
Important practical points: broadband speeds are very slow and the sale is subject to overage terms benefiting a previous owner (full details available on request). Tenure is recorded as unknown in the supplied information. There is no flood risk and local crime levels are very low. Buyers should verify outstanding planning conditions, access improvements and exact overage obligations before exchange.
