A PLOT of land in St Helens has been listed for sale at £1.35m and marketed as a housing development opportunity.
The area of 0.9 hectares is in a rural location off Douglas Avenue, in Bold.
Information listed on Rightmove by estate agents John Brown suggests it could be used for a development of nine houses, made up of three four-bedroom houses and six five-bedroom houses.
However, while there has been a pre-application enquiry, full planning permission will still need to be granted.
A statement posted on Rightmove read: "The site is approximately 0.9 hectares (ha) in size and is now considered to be ‘white land’ with the local council.
"The site sits in a predominantly rural location, with open fields to the north and west, and a small amount of residential development to the south and east.
"The site comprises an ‘L’ shaped parcel of land which wraps around the rear of the dwellings along the north of Douglas Avenue.
The site stretches east to west with a narrow access road connecting to Neills Road to the east and the parcel wrapping around the dwellings and connecting to Rose Hill Farm to the south west.
"There are a small number of trees within the site and some larger trees scattered along boundary edges amongst hedgerows."
The site is the latest parcel of land being made available for sale as landowners look to take advantage of the homebuilding development market and local authority targets for new homes.
