An excellent residential development opportunity on the edge of Leigh with planning consent granted to provide three detached, four-bed dwellings situated in 1.5 acres or thereabouts in a private setting close to the A580 and local amenities.

Bedford Lodge Farm is located approximately 0.25 miles along a privately owned driveway and includes a range of traditional brick constructed stables / barn, outdoor arena and paddock. In total the property extends to approximately 1.5 acres OTA.

The site benefits from planning consent for the construction of three detached dwellings under planning application A/23/95687/FULL granted on the 18th November 2024 for the conversion of buildings into three residential dwellings.

The driveway enters the property into the central yard area, around which the buildings are set. The buildings are of red brick construction under pitched slate and sheet roofs. As detailed on the floorplan, the buildings comprise a large ‘L’ shaped Barn and former Shippon, with a further open sided Storage Building positioned to the East of the courtyard. The quiet locality of site and surrounding countryside offer excellent opportunities for ’hacking out’ to the north on a variety of tracks and bridleways.

The site benefits from planning consent for the “Extension, part demolition, conversion, alterations to roof height of existing stables and barn and associated external alteration to create 3 detached dwellings with parking, landscaping and access”. Further documentation regarding the planning consents are available on Wigan Borough Council Planning Portal under application reference A/23/95687/FULL. We also understand that there is a demolition order in place.

Development opportunities of this nature are not regularly offered to the market and this is a rare opportunity for both developers and private individuals to create an excellent development in a much sought after location.

The vendor would be open to including additional land, subject to separate negotiation.
