This substantial 0.145-hectare plot on Elston Lane comes with full planning permission (ref 06/2023/0602) for a detached four-bedroom house of approximately 218 sqm (2,350 sqft). The site includes mature broadleaf woodland bordering Tun Brook, offering a semi-rural feel while remaining within easy reach of Grimsargh and Preston. The plot is well-positioned for motorway access (M6/M61/M65 within ~3 miles) and Preston rail links (~6 miles).
The consented scheme provides a ready route to build, reducing early planning risk and shortening lead-in time. The size and setting suit buyers wanting a spacious family home with private garden and natural screening. Local schooling includes a mix of highly regarded state and independent options, and the area is classified as a prospering countryside community.
Buyers should note material considerations: the site is in a high flood-risk area and any build will require careful flood mitigation and specialist advice. Tenure is currently unknown and should be confirmed. Services and access connections will need to be finalised as part of construction works. These factors affect build costs and timing but are manageable for purchasers experienced with new builds or prepared to commission professional surveys.
Overall this is a rare chance to deliver a large, bespoke home in a leafy, semi-rural location with planning permission in place. It will particularly suit purchasers seeking a turnkey planning solution and willing to manage flood mitigation, services connection and construction to realise the plot’s potential.
