Land Lying to the North of Mossley Road, Grasscroft, Oldham, OL4 4HE

An exciting opportunity to acquire a well-located residential development plot in the highly sought-after village of Grasscroft, Saddleworth. The site benefits from planning permission for the construction of a substantial detached dwelling, offering purchasers the chance to create a bespoke family home in an attractive semi-rural setting. Planning ref - PA/342566/18

The approved scheme provides for a large architect-designed property of approximately 240m² (circa 2,580 sq ft) arranged over split levels, designed to take advantage of the natural topography of the site. The design incorporates spacious living accommodation, multiple bedrooms and generous glazing to maximise views and natural light.

The plot occupies a desirable position within Grasscroft, a popular Saddleworth location known for its village atmosphere, countryside walks and convenient access to local amenities, schools and transport links into Oldham, Manchester and surrounding areas.

This site will appeal to self-builders, developers and those seeking to create a bespoke home, with strong end values for detached family homes within the immediate area.

Based on recent sales of comparable detached properties within Grasscroft and the wider Saddleworth area, it is considered that a completed property built broadly in accordance with the approved scheme could achieve an end value in the region of £650,000–£700,000, subject to specification and market conditions. Interested parties should rely on their own investigations and satisfy themselves as to the achievable resale value.

Planning permission was previously granted for the erection of a detached dwelling with integral garage and associated works. The vendor has confirmed that works were commenced on site and has provided correspondence from the local planning authority confirming that the development is considered to have been lawfully started. Interested parties should review the legal pack and rely on their own investigations in relation to the planning status.
