6 bed detached house for sale

Woodhill Road, Bury BL8

Occupying an exceptional plot of approximately three quarters of an acre in one of Bury's most prestigious residential locations, The Gatehouse presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial detached residence with the added benefit of full planning permission for a spectacular architect-designed replacement home.

While the existing property offers spacious and versatile family accommodation, the true appeal lies in the opportunity to create one of the North West's finest private residences. The approved plans provide for an outstanding contemporary home extending to approximately 11,700 sq ft over four floors, including a basement, combining striking architecture with luxurious family living.

The proposed accommodation comprises seven generous en-suite bedrooms, including an exceptional principal suite with a dressing room, wellness room and private balcony. At the heart of the home is a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining and family space, complemented by a separate prep kitchen, formal lounge, sitting room, home office, utility room and an impressive central entrance atrium. A passenger lift serves every floor, while the basement offers space for a cinema, gym, games room, wine cellar or private leisure suite.

The existing property sits within beautifully private grounds featuring extensive gardens, generous entertaining terraces, secure electric gated access, substantial garaging and parking for numerous vehicles.

Also available by separate negotiation are three fully serviced static caravans, providing ideal on-site accommodation during construction.

The sale includes full planning permission, approved Building Regulations, structural calculations and supporting documentation, allowing the project to commence immediately. The planning permission is valid within the current three-year implementation period, which may be extended subject to the relevant approvals. Architectural plans and supporting documents are available on request.
