RARE DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY | APPROX. 1/3 ACRE | ARCHITECT DRAWINGS FOR PREVIOUS APPLIED PLANNING AVAILABLE| CASH BUYERS ONLY
Cherry Tree House is a substantial three-storey property set in an idyllic Rawtenstall location, offering exceptional potential for redevelopment.
The property sits on a large plot of approximately 1/3 acre (not independently verified) and includes two attached cottages, a large basement, extensive gardens and generous room sizes throughout.
Previous architect drawings have been drawn up for demolition of the existing property and the construction of three houses with a courtyard. There may be potential to explore a larger scheme, potentially up to five properties, subject to a further planning application and all necessary consents.
The property requires significant refurbishment, making this an exciting opportunity for developers, investors or those seeking a substantial project.
