Full description
Tenure: Freehold
A rare opportunity to own a parcel of pasture land within a popular commuter area of St Helens. The land is flat and could be suitable for a variety of uses subject to planning permission.
The site benefits greatly from its own private access over a dropped kerb. The land adjacent to the eastern border was granted full planning permission for two detached houses in March 2005.
The land lies midway between Liverpool and Manchester and is well served by transport links. The M62 is less than a mile to the south and the M57 and M6 are to the east and west respectively. Nearby Lea Green train station offers fast, direct and frequent trains into Liverpool and Manchester in half an hour.
ACCESS
The land benefits from its own private access over a dropped kerb on Milton Street.

LAND PRICES
The supply of farmland to the market last year was down 16% compared to the previous year, and down 8% compared to the 10-year average.
Demand for land remains robust - especially from investors looking for more than a 'safe' investment in uncertain times - and this together with the diminishing supply, may help strengthen land values.
ADJACENT DEVELOPMENT
The land adjacent to the eastern border was granted full planning permission for two detached houses in March 2005.
PLANNING
The land is designated as green belt. Any development would be subject to the appropriate planning permission.
OVERAGE
The land is subject to an Overage based on 25% of any uplift in value following the grant of planning permission for development other than that which is for agricultural or equestrian purposes. The Overage period is 33 years from the date of completion.
LOCAL AUTHORITY
St Helens Council
METHOD OF SALE
The land is offered for sale by private treaty. The freehold is available with vacant possession upon completion.
