Terraced House
A rare development opportunity, in the heart of historic Howarth. Situated at the top of the cobbled high street, sits a cluster of buildings in need of significant works. The building(s) are known as 1 West Lane, 3 West Lane and 14 The Fold. Planning was approved in June 2022 for the restoration, and reinstatement of three separate dwellings - 21/05648/HOU. This includes rebuilding of a third floor, to the property known as 3 West Lane, which suffered historical fire damage. A flat roof was installed to the upper floor but the property itself has remained relatively untouched.
1 West Lane and 14 The Fold – Internal walls have been removed, leaving one substantial room to each of the four floors. Lime mortar has been applied to many of the internal walls but the building is essentially a blank canvas. Due to a busy high street location, the property could lend itself to a change of use, subject to the necessary consents.
Viewers – Please note there will be no access to 3-5 West Lane and restricted access to the ground, and first floors, of 1 West Lane/14 The Fold.
Location – Situated at the top of the cobbled high street in Howarth. The property is well positioned for the historical sites of the village.
