Description

A detached property in Hesketh Bank offering approximately 2,930 sq ft of accommodation on a plot of around 0.19 acres. The house is arranged in three connected sections: the main accommodation, a self-contained one-bedroom annex, and a further self-contained area with its own entrance. The listing describes nine bedrooms in total, alongside several reception spaces, fitted kitchens and shower rooms. The property is offered with vacant possession and no onward chain. Outside, the corner plot includes gardens on two sides, paved patio areas and a separate rear parking area accessed from Guide Road. The layout and scale may suit a range of residential or other uses, subject to the necessary consents. Planning permission for use as a children's home for up to six children was granted in 2007 but has lapsed; a fresh application would be required for any similar use. Located in the semi-rural village of Hesketh Bank, with local shops, schools and bus services described as available nearby. Viewing is by appointment through Smart Move.

74out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £595,000, this substantial detached property is priced at £203 per sq ft, around 18% below the local average—a strong entry point for its 2,930 sq ft of accommodation. Its distinctive feature is the multi-part layout, with several living areas and self-contained accommodation, alongside gardens on two sides and separate parking. The former children’s-home planning permission has lapsed, so any future use or reconfiguration would need to be checked.

Key opportunities

  • Several connected and self-contained accommodation areas offer flexibility for a range of household needs, subject to inspection and any necessary approvals.
  • A light cosmetic update could refresh the older kitchen styling, mixed flooring and textured ceilings without the photos suggesting a full refurbishment is essential.
  • Maintained gardens on two sides, patio areas, a covered seating area and separate hardstanding parking add useful outdoor space and practicality.
