** FOR SALE BY MODERN METHOD OF AUCTION STARTING BID £275,000 PLUS RESERVATION FEES **

This site was previously occupied by a bungalow which was demolished a number of years ago with planning historically granted for a large four-story dwelling of around 4500 sq ft.

Our client had planned to build the property for their own occupation, but plans changed, as these things do, which saw them move to another part of the country.

The architect designed drawings were specifically created to maximise the stunning far-reaching views to the south, for which this elevated part of Horwich is synonymous. With any such property these views change according to the seasons and on the clearest days the aspect stretches far beyond the fields and nearby reservoir which are immediately set to the rear. In fact, the distant views include the Lancashire Plain, Snowdon range on a good day and the skyline of Manchester City Centre to the east. We have previously heard it remarked that the main reason for purchasing a property in this location is to ensure its owner can look down over the rest of Lancashire!

For those who are not familiar with the area, this specific address strikes a brilliant balance of countryside access with the Rivington and the West Pennine Moor country park being particularly close by. Similarly, the small group of neighbouring houses are set immediately next to greenbelt agricultural fields. Despite this excellent access to rural surroundings, the connectivity for commuting is superb and includes motorway and train links within around 3 miles.

For day to day amenities there is a local market style town centre which is around 2 miles away, together with an out of town style retail development, also around 2 miles away. Many locals also consider Manchester city centre an appropriate distance to socialise, work and shop.

This plot offers great potential for someone to create a home designed to their own style and specification where the views will offer the wow factor and a true point of difference when compared with other development possibilities.

This plot is for sale by the Modern Method of Auction, meaning the buyer and seller are to complete within 56 days (the "Reservation Period"). Interested parties personal data will be shared with the Auctioneer (iamsold).

If considering buying with a mortgage, inspect and consider the property carefully with your lender before bidding.

A Buyer Information Pack is provided. The winning bidder will pay £349.00 including VAT for this pack which you must view before bidding.

The buyer signs a Reservation Agreement and makes payment of a non-refundable Reservation Fee of 4.5% of the purchase price including VAT, subject to a minimum of £6,600.00 including VAT. This is paid to reserve the property to the buyer during the Reservation Period and is paid in addition to the purchase price. This is considered within calculations for Stamp Duty Land Tax.

Services may be recommended by the Agent or Auctioneer in which they will receive payment from the service provider if the service is taken. Any payment that will be received by the Agent or Auctioneer will be confirmed to you in writing before services are taken. Services are optional.
