This property at Blackgate Lane, Tarleton, presents a unique opportunity for buyers seeking a substantial plot of land with development potential. The listing showcases a 5.34-acre site including a dwelling house and a range of agricultural buildings. The existing house appears to be in need of modernisation, with dated decor and interior finishes visible in the provided photographs. The farm buildings also show their age and are in need of renovation or demolition, adding a significant cost to any future development.

The location is a positive aspect; Tarleton is a sought-after village with good local schools, including several ‘Good’ rated schools within reasonable proximity. The nearby train stations at Rufford, New Lane and Burscough Bridge offer convenient access to other areas.

Given that the average price of nearby properties varies significantly, from under £100,000 to over £600,000, the listing price reflects the larger plot and development opportunity rather than solely the current condition of the existing structures. However, potential buyers should factor in substantial renovation costs and consider the possibility of future development planning permissions before making an offer. The lack of bedroom and bathroom information in the listing is also notable, reflecting the property’s current state as an undeveloped site with potential, rather than a move-in ready residence. The property is being sold as a development opportunity, it isn’t a ready-made home, and this is reflected in the provided information and photos.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
