A rural estate extending to approximately 48 acres of grazing land and woodland, reached by a private driveway of around half a mile. The property is offered with full planning permission for a proposed five-bedroom residence of approximately 8,000 sq ft, designed in a contemporary country style to take advantage of the surrounding views. The approved scheme includes substantial living and entertaining accommodation and a separate garage building. The existing buildings and land are shown in the photographs, while the proposed house is illustrated by architectural CGI images.
The land may suit equestrian, recreational or other rural uses, subject to any necessary checks. The site is around one mile from Stonyhurst College, with Clitheroe, Longridge and Preston also within reach. The listing states that the property is freehold with vacant possession, mains electricity, spring-sourced water and drainage via an approved new septic tank. Planning reference 3/2024/0480 was granted on 4 October 2024. Planning documents, plans, elevations and boundary information are available from the agent.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
58out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: LOW
Greenthorn is a rare country-estate proposition: around 48 acres of grazing land and woodland, a long private approach and full planning permission for a proposed residence of approximately 8,000 sq ft. The asking price of £1.25m equates to about £156 per sq ft, well below the local average of £274, making the acquisition price a clear strength. The house shown is a CGI proposal rather than a completed home, so this is an opportunity to create the residence around the approved plans, subject to checking the consent, its conditions and implementation status.
The overall WHOTS score is 58/100, grade D: the land, setting and price stand out, while the project’s economics are difficult to assess from the available information. Existing rural buildings are visible, but their condition and potential use need inspection; the proposed home’s build scope and delivery programme also warrant careful due diligence.
Key opportunities
- Create a bespoke country residence around the approved plans, with scope to shape the finished home to your requirements.
- Make the most of approximately 48 acres of grazing land and woodland, with privacy, countryside views and potential for equestrian or recreational use.
- Acquire a holding with a half-mile private approach and a stated full planning consent, subject to verifying the consent details and delivery requirements.
Key risks
- The approved residence represents a substantial build programme; establish the scope, servicing requirements and delivery plan before committing.
- The condition and potential use of the existing rural buildings cannot be judged from the aerial views and need on-site inspection.
- The proposed house is represented by CGI rather than completed interiors, so the finished specification and build quality remain to be established.
