Description

This detached property presents a noteworthy opportunity for those interested in renovations or investment potential. Set on a generous plot of approximately 0.224 acres within Rivington's Green Belt, Dryfield Cottage offers scope for significant development through permitted development rights. The existing plans suggest the possibility of single-storey side and rear extensions that would enhance the overall living space while maintaining the cottage's character. The current layout consists of a lounge and breakfast kitchen on the ground floor, along with two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a separate shower room upstairs. There is potential to convert the shower room into an additional bedroom, thereby increasing capacity without requiring extensive structural changes. Surrounded by open fields and featuring picturesque views of Rivington Pike, this property excels in its rural charm while remaining close to local amenities and transport links in Horwich. With careful planning and design, future owners can tailor this home to their specifications or even consider complete redevelopment given the area's strong market potential that could support values exceeding £1M. Further exploration into obtaining necessary approvals from Chorley Council can unlock more possibilities for this site, making it an attractive proposition for both residential buyers and investors alike.
