We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
A ‘grand design’ opportunity offering vast potential for redevelopment or refurbishment, limited only by the imagination Situated in the sought-after rural location of St Michaels, Preston, this substantial detached residence presents a rare and exciting opportunity for redevelopment or comprehensive refurbishment (subject to the relevant planning consents), ideal for developers, investors, or buyers seeking a large-scale project with massive potential.
The existing accommodation currently comprises five bedrooms and five reception rooms, including a games room, along with four bathrooms and a fitted kitchen.
While offering a generous footprint, the property now lends itself perfectly to reconfiguration, enhancement, or redevelopment, allowing a purchaser to create something truly special.
The property is set within approximately 5 acres of land, with the grounds offering excellent scope for further development or landscaping.
A picturesque one-acre lake, stocked with fish including carp and frequented by wildlife, sits centrally within the plot and adds to the appeal of the setting.
Additional features include planning permission already approved for a six-car garage, all of which further enhance the redevelopment potential of the site.
There is also the potential to purchase a further 2 acres of land by separate negotiation. Further details regarding the additional land can be discussed by contacting the office on .
Externally, the property benefits from extensive off-road parking and open space, making it an outstanding opportunity for those seeking a large plot with flexibility, scope, and long-term potential.
Please note the wooded area belongs to the neighbouring property.
