Description

This detached bungalow, set on an expansive 0.75-acre plot in Widnes, presents a unique development prospect. Previously granted lapsed planning permission for the construction of three detached homes in 1993, the site offers considerable potential for redevelopment (subject to obtaining the required planning approvals). The existing structure is in need of comprehensive refurbishment, making it an ideal candidate for those looking to create a generous family dwelling or as a project for developers and self-builders keen on utilising substantial land. Nestled in a well-established residential area, the property enjoys close proximity to respected schools, local amenities, and Widnes town centre. With excellent access to the M62/M56 and nearby train stations, this location is particularly appealing for commuters heading towards Liverpool and Manchester. Overall, this is an exceptional chance to invest in a versatile property in one of the most sought-after parts of Widnes.
