Land

This property is a unique opportunity to develop a site in Leigh, Greater Manchester, with full planning permission for the conversion and extension of an existing gymnasium building into 18 one- and two-bedroom apartments, as well as the construction of 20 new townhouses on the adjacent land. The apartments, ranging from 40 to 71 square meters, offer a mix of one- and two-bedroom units over three floors, making it suitable for developers looking to resell or create a build-to-rent scheme. The site benefits from no section 106 or affordable housing requirements, and an independent valuation estimates a gross development value of £2,801,000. The property has a rich history, having been part of Leigh College since 1902, and was once home to Olympic athletes Ada and Hilda Smith. The site is located on Ullswater Street, Boughey Street, and Thirlmere Street, with full planning permission details available under reference A/22/94743/MAJOR on the Wigan planning portal.
