Description
Ben Rose Estate Agents are offering a building plot of approximately 0.25 acres on Gathurst Lane in Shevington. Full planning consent is stated to have been granted under application A/25/099558/full for a detached four-bedroom home of around 2,126 sq ft. The approved design includes open-plan living areas, driveway parking and an integral garage.
The site is set back from the road within an established residential area. The listing describes local shops, schools and other village amenities nearby, with transport connections to Wigan and the wider North West. The opportunity is to progress the approved scheme, subject to planning conditions and building regulations. The boundary shown in the marketing photographs is indicative only and should not be treated as an exact site boundary.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
52out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: LOW
At £189,995, this plot is priced at £89 per sq ft against a local average of £242, making the asking price a standout acquisition opportunity. It is a substantial, roughly quarter-acre site in Shevington, with access and hardstanding already visible, and the listing states that full planning consent has been granted for a detached four-bedroom home of about 2,126 sq ft. Verify the permission, conditions and implementation requirements before proceeding.
This is a heavy development project rather than a renovation: the house is shown only in the approved drawings, so the opportunity is to bring that scheme to life and create a substantial home on the plot. Dense vegetation and existing hardstanding mean site preparation and landscaping are also part of the work. The low asking price is attractive, but the overall WHOTS grade is D because the project is extensive and the available information does not establish its renovation economics.
Key opportunities
- Bring the approved four-bedroom, approximately 2,126 sq ft detached-home scheme to life, with scope to create modern family living and an integral garage.
- Make use of the substantial private plot, existing access route and hardstanding as the starting point for the development.
- The asking price is exceptionally low against the local £/sq ft average, offering an opportunity to acquire the site at a marked discount.
Key risks
- No completed dwelling is shown: plan for a full new-build programme, including site preparation and construction, rather than a cosmetic refresh.
- Verify the stated planning consent, its conditions and implementation requirements; the advertised plot boundary is for reference and is not an exact match.
