An exceptional development opportunity positioned along one of Aughton’s most desirable addresses, this detached four-bedroom residence extends to approximately 2,717 sq. ft (252.52 sq. m) and occupies a plot of around two acres. Approached via a long private driveway at ‘Doctors Bridge’, the property enjoys a secluded setting offering excellent privacy yet retains close proximity to the village’s finest amenities.

The existing house requires comprehensive renovation and offers clear potential for redevelopment or a replacement dwelling (subject to planning consent). The site lends itself equally well to the creation of a substantial family home or potentially several dwellings, subject to the necessary approvals.

With a rich local heritage, the property was originally built as a workers’ cottage serving ‘The Dingle’ smallholding. Although its precise construction date is unrecorded, local accounts and architectural features indicate origins around the turn of the 20th century, reflecting late Victorian or early Edwardian craftsmanship. Period features such as a cold-store, shippon and original outbuildings remain characteristic of its agricultural past.

Prescot Road is well known for its attractive tree-lined setting, distinguished homes and convenient access to renowned amenities, including Michelin-starred dining at Moor Hall, boutique shops, well-regarded schools and excellent transport links. The location offers the perfect balance between countryside seclusion and accessibility to Ormskirk, Liverpool and the wider North West.

Prospective purchasers should be aware that the sale of this property is subject to an overage agreement. This agreement entitles the seller to 30% of any uplift in the land’s value for a period of thirty years, should planning permission for residential development be granted on any part of the curtilage or adjoining land to the rear.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire one of Aughton’s most promising redevelopment sites, perfectly located for buyers seeking privacy, local prestige and planning potential on the edge of West Lancashire’s charming countryside.
