Description

Rutter Green is pleased to present this two-bedroom detached bungalow, which represents an exciting development opportunity. Located in a mixed residential area, this property offers potential buyers a unique canvas for transformation, whether that means developing additional housing units, creating a charming retreat, or even exploring commercial ventures, all subject to obtaining necessary planning permissions (STPP). The upcoming online auction is an excellent platform for interested parties to consider the diverse possibilities this property holds and envision how they might tailor the space to meet specific needs. The bungalow is strategically situated near major motorway links, ensuring easy accessibility for both personal use and business purposes. The substantial size of the land enhances its appeal and presents numerous possibilities for future development. Viewings are highly recommended as prospective buyers will appreciate not only the generous layout of the bungalow but also the vast potential that comes with this expansive plot. This listing comprises three separate plots available through auction: 1) Bungalow with garden at a guide price of £140,000; 2) Land adjacent to the bungalow priced at £5,000; and 3) A small parcel of land located to the north of Hoghton Road listed at £25,000. Spanning an impressive 2.2 acres (not approximate), these plots offer ample space for various possibilities.

Confidence: LOW

This two-bedroom detached bungalow, set on an expansive 2.2 acres, presents a promising opportunity for development, particularly for those interested in creating additional housing units or exploring commercial ventures, subject to planning permission. However, the lack of usable floor area and insufficient data on renovation costs significantly dampens the overall value assessment, making the asking price of £140,000 appear steep against the local average sale price of £194,085. With no clear indication of the property's condition or potential post-renovation value, buyers should approach with caution.

While the location near major motorway links offers convenience, the recent negative growth in the area (-10.4%) raises concerns about future value appreciation. The property does hold potential due to its size and layout, but the unknowns surrounding its condition and the economics of any proposed renovation should be carefully evaluated. Interested buyers might find value in the land itself, but they should be prepared for the uncertainty that comes with a property lacking detailed information.

Key opportunities

  • Large 2.2-acre plot provides ample space for various development possibilities.
  • Potential for creating additional housing units or commercial ventures, subject to planning permission.

Key risks

  • Lack of usable floor area and insufficient information on the property's condition.
  • Asking price appears high compared to local average sale prices and recent market declines.
