About this home
*** A DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY *** An attractive stone detached building with LAPSED PLANNING PERMISSION for FOUR TWO BEDROOM/TWO BATH TOWN HOUSES. (Application No HPK/2012/0217) which is located within a highly sought after location with PANORAMIC VIEWS and a short walk to the Town and it's amenities including rail links. This is a unique and rare opportunity to potentially develop this 1873 former Drill Hall/function hall/office/workshop which has lapsed planning permission for four two bedroom town houses with allocated parking and a superb countryside location above and overlooking the town of Whaley Bridge. The Planning Permission granted in 2012 has now lapsed although the owner has been informed that renewal of this application would be favourable as some of the works had commenced. The accommodation would offer modern living with sitting room, dining kitchens, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. There is provision for allocated off road parking. There is small garden space at the rear and the views are spectacular. The town is a ten minute walk with shops, cafes, schools, Peak Forest Canal at it's heart and a rail station with frequent links into Manchester and beyond. This offers is a very rare opportunity.
