Commercial Development in WA13

For sale via auction - fees, terms and conditions apply.

A rare development opportunity to acquire a prominent former school site in the highly sought-after village of Statham, Lymm.

Occupying a substantial plot on Warrington Road, this former community primary school building now requires complete redevelopment, presenting an exceptional opportunity for developers, investors and self-build purchasers alike.

The property benefits from detailed pre-application discussions with Warrington Borough Council regarding the demolition of the existing structure and redevelopment of the site for residential use. A pre-application proposal for five terraced dwellings has already been reviewed by the Local Planning Authority, with the principle of residential redevelopment accepted and demolition of the existing building considered acceptable in principle, subject to a revised layout and detailed planning submission.

The site occupies a prominent position within the centre of Statham, opposite the current primary school and within easy reach of Lymm village centre, motorway networks and local amenities.

Planning
Pre-application advice has been obtained from Warrington Borough Council under reference PRE/25/00073. The council confirmed that the principle of residential redevelopment is acceptable and that the demolition of the existing building is considered acceptable in planning terms. Purchasers should make their own enquiries regarding planning and development potential.

Location
Statham is one of Cheshire's most desirable residential areas, situated on the edge of Lymm village. The site enjoys a convenient position on Warrington Road close to local schools, shops, cafés and countryside walks, whilst providing excellent commuter access to Warrington, Manchester, Liverpool and the M6, M56 and M62 motorway networks.

Please note we have not inspected this property.

ONLINE AUCTION NOTICE

I hereby acknowledge and confirm the following:

My bid may be accepted by the seller at any time before the close of the auction. It is subject to the terms and conditions of the auction which I have read and understood. I have read and understood the legal pack applicable to my bid/lot and agree to be bound by any special conditions within that pack.

If my bid is successful (whether as the highest bid or upon acceptance by the seller in the course of the auction) I shall be bound by the lot terms and conditions as advertised online.

Any amount payable at the close of the auction must be paid within 1 hour.

Please note that the bidding process will work in a different way to an eBay auction, so there is NO advantage to bidding at the last second.

Each auction will automatically stay open until there has not been a bid within the final 10 minutes. If no bid has been submitted within the final 10 minutes of the auction, the auction will close and the highest bidder will be successful subject to the reserve price being met or upon acceptance of an offer by the seller throughout the auction cycle. If there is another bid within 10 minutes of the last bid, the auction countdown timer will be restarted for another 10 minutes to allow further bidding. This system avoids last-minute (or second) bidding and makes for a fairer auction as in a live-room auction situation.

Please bid in good time before the end of the auction, delaying your bid to the last seconds may disadvantage you if your connection slows or you lose internet connectivity.

The auctioneer is not responsible for any tech issues, power outage or error messages which hampers or eliminates an individual's opportunity to bid.

It is the bidder's responsibility to ensure the bid has been lodged with the auctioneer. It is therefore beneficial to bid on your chosen lot at your earliest opportunity.

The auctioneer accepts no responsibility for bids that are not received or are received late and reserves the right to reject any bid without notice.
