36 BLACK FIRS LANE

Prime Consent-Granted Residential Development Opportunity –, Black Firs Lane Congleton, Cheshire

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a ready-to-develop residential site in one of Congleton’s most prestigious and consistently high-value locations. The site extends to approximately 3,859 sq. m (0.953 acres / 0.385 hectares), including a shared private driveway, and benefits from full planning permission for the construction of three substantial five-bedroom detached executive dwellings, each of approximately 3,000 sq. ft.

This consented scheme offers an ideal scale for a high-end, low-density executive development, perfectly suited to the current demand for large family homes in prime Cheshire locations. The setting, combined with the size and specification of the approved dwellings, positions the development strongly within the upper end of the local residential market, where values have historically proven resilient.
 
The site occupies a highly desirable and established address, characterised by wide, tree-lined avenues and individually designed detached homes set back behind mature gardens. Its position on the western fringe of Congleton, directly bordering open countryside, provides the semi-rural environment increasingly sought after by today’s purchasers, while retaining immediate access to the town’s amenities.
 
From a development perspective, the location offers excellent fundamentals: close proximity to high-performing schools, nearby retail at West Heath Shopping Centre, and strong regional connectivity. The property enjoys swift access to the M6 motorway (approx. 6 miles) and is well placed for Manchester Airport (approx. 17 miles). The completion of the Congleton Link Road in 2021, connecting the A534 and A536, has further enhanced accessibility, commuter appeal and long-term growth prospects.
 
With full planning consent already secured, the site allows a purchaser to move directly toward detailed design, discharge of conditions and build-out, reducing planning risk and holding time. The scale and nature of the scheme make it attractive to both regional housebuilders and private developers seeking a premium product in a proven residential market.
 
This is a rare opportunity to deliver a small collection of bespoke executive homes in one of Congleton’s most exclusive settings, where supply is extremely limited and end-user demand remains consistently strong.
