Chorley Road, Westhoughton

A substantial Victorian double-fronted detached 'Ancillary' building offering impressive proportions, period character, and outstanding redevelopment potential. Requiring full renovation, the property presents an excellent opportunity for investors, developers, or owner-occupiers seeking a large statement home.

Previously, planning permission was granted for an independent four-bedroom detached dwelling, though this has now lapsed. Interested parties are advised to make their own enquiries regarding future planning potential. Planning approval was obtained in 2010 to be independent from the main house (planning ref 83573/10)

The ground floor comprises a porch leading into a generous entrance hallway with stair access to both the first floor and an exceptionally large basement. There are four very well-proportioned reception rooms, all benefiting from the scale and elegance typical of the Victorian era.

To the first floor, a spacious landing gives access to three further large reception rooms, one of which spans the full width of the property, providing excellent flexibility for reconfiguration.

The property boasts 3.6-metre/11+ft high ceilings, enhancing the sense of light and volume throughout. Original fireplaces are present in all but one of the reception rooms (excluding one first-floor room), adding to the period charm.

The basement level is exceptionally large, offering further scope for conversion.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a grand Victorian building with significant scale and versatility, ideal for redevelopment, investment, or transformation into an impressive family residence.
