THE GROUNDS

This stunning estate not only offers the two individual impressive residences already detailed but also enjoys a delightful plot which extends to around 2.3 acres. Beautifully lanscaped and tended to provide an idyllic haven which beguiles its convenient location and excellent transport links to both Manchester and Liverpool. Currently served by a single driveway, provision has been made for a second so the residences could easily be accessed independently if required.
Once designated as greenbelt this was de-zoned around 10 years ago which opens up further possibilities (subject to planning) and could be assessed by any potential purchaser.
This unique site offers much potential on both residential and commercial fronts (stp) and must be viewed to appreciate location, quality and potential.
