Description

We are thrilled to present an extraordinary opportunity to acquire a detached property situated on a substantial and prominent plot, formerly known as Rectory Nurseries Garden Centre, in the heart of Ashton-in-Makerfield. This location offers convenient access to local amenities, schools, as well as rail and motorway networks.

Previously the home and garden centre of outsider art artist Kevin Duffy, this property embodies 40 years of his passionate vision, showcased on television and celebrated by Raw Vision, the world's leading outsider art magazine.

Spanning close to 0.5 acres, the site features a detached bungalow (currently divided into two separate dwellings) alongside adjacent land, various outbuildings, and a large car park that was once the garden centre. Each dwelling includes its own lounge, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom, but the bungalow can be renovated back into a single, detached residence totaling just over 1,200 square feet. It has its own private driveway and roadside access.

With ample land and a large tarmac car park with roadside frontage, there is significant potential for development. Options include developing some of the land while retaining the bungalow, or removing the bungalow to utilize the entire plot for new construction. Additionally, reopening the garden centre while living in or renting out the bungalow is another viable possibility.

Importantly, our vendors are not imposing any restrictions on the land or requesting overage for any potential future development value that may arise upon the granting of planning permission for residential and/or commercial development.

We are advised that the tenure is Freehold. Council tax band for the bungalow is B. EPC Rating D.
