Description

This Grade II Listed cottage presents a unique opportunity for restoration and potential development. Located in a semi-rural setting, this character home sits on a generous plot on Knowls Lane, Lees, Oldham. Offered at auction, the property features three bedrooms and retains many original details that provide a wonderful foundation for modernization. With complete renovation needed throughout, buyers can take advantage of its extensive internal space—comprising a porch, lounge, kitchen/diner, separate sitting/dining room, along with three bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs. Historically granted planning permission in 2013 for the construction of two additional dwellings (subject to current planning checks), this cottage may also appeal to developers interested in maximizing the use of its expansive grounds. The property is available with no chain and vacant possession upon completion, making it an intriguing proposition for investors or those looking to create a distinctive family estate.
