Description

This is a distinctive opportunity for developers and investors alike to create an exceptional residence in a highly desirable area near Formby beach. Greenloons Farm presents a substantial plot of approximately 2 acres (0.80 hectares), complete with planning permission for a bespoke dwelling of up to 13,500 sq ft, allowing for either a contemporary or traditional architectural design. The existing structures will need to be demolished, paving the way for new construction and landscaping to fully realise the potential of this serene woodland setting adjacent to The National Trust Nature Reserve. The property benefits from its close proximity to Formby village, which offers a vibrant mix of dining options and shopping experiences, as well as easy access to Birkdale Village's amenities. Excellent educational facilities are available nearby, including both primary and secondary schools, as well as esteemed private institutions. Accessibility is another strong point, with convenient road links to major cities like Liverpool and Southport, alongside local transport services that enhance connectivity throughout the North West. This location not only provides tranquility but also places you within reach of local sports clubs and golf courses.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

53out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

The standout opportunity is the setting: an approximately two-acre woodland plot close to Formby beach, with mature trees, lawn and a substantial gravel drive. The £1.5m asking price is exceptionally low against the stated local average at £111/sqf versus £298/sqf, making the asking price a strong acquisition point. Planning consent is stated for demolition of the existing house and outbuildings and construction of a replacement dwelling, with a choice of contemporary or traditional designs; verify the consent and its conditions.

Key opportunities

  • Shape the replacement around the site's woodland setting, mature trees and generous grounds, with the stated choice of contemporary or traditional design.
  • The consented demolition and replacement scheme gives a buyer scope to create a new home rather than adapt the existing dwelling.
  • The asking price is a strong acquisition opportunity against the local £/sqf average.

Key risks

  • The existing dwelling and outbuildings are described as requiring demolition, so plan for a substantial clearance and new-build programme rather than a cosmetic refresh.
