An exceptional, secluded opportunity on Prescot Road: a substantial detached four-bedroom house set within around two acres. The property sits behind a long private driveway at ‘Doctors Bridge’ and enjoys wide paddock and mature woodland views, offering privacy and a prestigious Aughton address close to Michelin-starred dining and well-regarded local schools.
The existing building (late Victorian/Edwardian origins) extends to approximately 2,717 sq ft and is presented as a blank canvas requiring comprehensive renovation. Period features and outbuildings remain, but the house needs full refurbishment or could be replaced entirely subject to planning. EPC grade E is recorded; buyers should allow for modernisation of services, interiors and external maintenance.
This plot is ideal for ambitious self-builders, small developers or an owner-occupier seeking a substantial luxury one-off home. There is also potential for multiple dwellings subject to consents. Important: the sale is subject to a 30% overage agreement on any uplift in land value for 30 years if planning permission for residential development is granted on the curtilage or adjoining rear land.
Viewings and offers should reflect the material renovation work required, the overage restriction, and planning risk. For buyers seeking privacy, plot size and redevelopment scope in one of Aughton’s most desirable locations, this presents rare long-term potential.
