Description

Ben Rose Estate Agents are marketing two serviced-unconnected development plots in Much Hoole, with a third plot already reserved. Full planning permission is stated for each plot for a detached five-bedroom home of approximately 295m2 (3,185 sq ft), arranged over three floors. The proposed accommodation includes several reception areas, a large kitchen, dining and living space, en-suites, a family bathroom, utility and plant room, and a games or hobby room. The plans show generous gardens, driveway parking and a detached single garage for each proposed home. The plots are being sold unserviced; mains electricity, gas, water and drainage are understood to be available nearby on Town Lane. Buyers will need to meet the relevant planning conditions and any applicable CIL charges, as well as the vendor's completion timescale requirements. Planning information is listed under South Ribble reference 07/2025/00088/ful. The site is in a semi-rural setting with access to amenities, schools and transport links in Much Hoole and Longton.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

51out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

At £375,000, the asking price is exceptionally low against the local £/sqf average, making the chance to acquire one of these plots the standout value proposition. Full planning permission and architectural drawings are in place for a substantial five-bedroom detached home, with generous gardens, parking and a garage; the semi-rural Much Hoole setting adds to the appeal.

This is a self-build opportunity rather than a conventional renovation, and the overall score is tempered by limited information on build economics and the elevated delivery risks. The plots are unserviced, so buyers will need to verify planning conditions, service connections, CIL obligations and build feasibility before proceeding.

Key opportunities

  • Acquire a plot at an asking price well below the local £/sqf average.
  • Use the existing full planning permission and architectural drawings as the starting point for a substantial five-bedroom detached home.
  • Create a home with generous gardens, driveway parking and a detached garage in a semi-rural setting.

Key risks

  • The plots are unserviced; verify the cost, route and feasibility of connecting mains services.
  • Confirm planning conditions, any applicable CIL charges, the vendor’s completion timescale and the practical feasibility of building.
