A rare freehold opportunity to acquire a prominently positioned parcel of land extending to approximately 900 sq m (0.24 acres), shown edged in red on the plan. The site occupies a distinctive wedge-shaped plot with direct access from Warrington Road and a section of existing hardstanding currently used for parking, with the remainder presently wooded/overgrown.
A key feature is the plot’s attractive setting: it runs down to the Leeds & Liverpool Canal, offering the potential for a waterside aspect and an appealing outlook once selectively cleared and managed. The mature tree boundary provides a useful degree of natural screening, while the roadside position offers excellent visibility and convenient day-to-day access. The land is considered suitable for a variety of uses, subject to obtaining all necessary consents (STPP), including:
- Residential development
- Secure parking/vehicle storage compound (cars, vans, minibuses)
- Trade counter/contractor yard, storage and distribution base
- Vehicle-related uses such as valeting/detailing, car sales display, bodyshop/repair yard, tyre/exhaust, etc.
- Garages, workshop units, container storage or small warehouse (where appropriate)
- Potential canal-side leisure/amenity uses (e.g., mooring-related/storage/ancillary uses), subject to the relevant consents/agreements
- An excellent “add-value” plot with immediate income potential from parking/yard use and longer-term development prospects in a highly accessible position. Viewing recommended.
* Generally speaking Guide Prices are provided as an indication of each seller's minimum expectation, i.e. 'The Reserve'. They are not necessarily figures which a property will sell for and may change at any time prior to the auction. Virtually every property will be offered subject to a Reserve (a figure below which the Auctioneer cannot sell the property during the auction) which we expect will be set within the Guide Range or no more than 10% above a single figure Guide.

By setting a proxy bid, the system will automatically bid on your behalf to maintain your position as the highest bidder, up to your proxy bid amount. If you are outbid, you will be notified via email so you can opt to increase your bid if you so choose.
If two of more users place identical bids, the bid that was placed first takes precedence, and this includes proxy bids.
Another bidder placed an automatic proxy bid greater or equal to the bid you have just placed. You will need to bid again to stand a chance of winning.
