THE LAND
A regular, level parcel of freehold land extending to approximately 649 sq m (6,987 sq ft). It lies directly alongside existing homes on Oak Avenue and Kinross Close and is currently vacant grassland, with mature hedgerows and fencing along its boundaries. Oak Avenue is to the south, the gardens of homes on Summerseat Lane are to the north, and there is open green space to the east. The site lies at an elevation of about 141 to 146 metres. Neighbouring residential roads include Haworth Avenue, Beauly Close, Aviemore Close and Hawthorn Avenue.
Because the land sits within an established residential area, it may interest builders, developers and private buyers looking to create a single home with generous gardens or a small residential scheme, subject to planning permission.
PLANNING
The land is sold without planning permission. The local planning authority is Bury Metropolitan Borough Council, and any development will need planning consent. Before bidding, buyers should check the current development plan, any constraints and the planning history on the council's planning portal.
SERVICES
Not known. Buyers must make their own enquiries of the utility providers.
LOCATION
