NORTHERN TRUST'S PLANS FOR PRESTIGIOUS PRIVATE ESTATE

22nd February 2011

Northern Trust is looking to provide an exceptional and exclusive opportunity to purchase a substantial building plot on a highly desirable private estate. The prestigious estate will provide 11 self build plots accessed via a private road off Stanifield Lane, Farington, Leyland. The plots will be set within approximately 2 acres of Greenfield land overlooking Farington Park.

Northern Trust will be submitting a detailed planning application before the end of March. The plans for the 11 self build plots come on the back of the successful outline planning permission granted last year for the development of the vacant land neighbouring Farington Lodge Hotel.

Mike Riding, Director at Northern Trust commented “This is an innovative flagship scheme for Northern Trust, aimed at providing a truly unique opportunity to purchase a self build plot and own a luxury home on a highly prestigious private estate. Located in a desirable area of Leyland, initial feedback and interest in the scheme has been extremely positive and we are confident the estate will be a huge success.”

The plans which have been the subject of extensive discussions with South Ribble Borough Council and Lancashire County Council, will include generously sized plots with services laid to each boundary. The private road will be constructed prior to any self-build development and will set the scene for the estate, featuring electric gates with art-stone pillars and railings.

The self build plots will provide the opportunity to build your own home designed they way you want it. There will be a variety of house sizes ranging from 2,000 sq ft upwards, but separate applications could be made if you wish to submit your own house style.

Northern Trust is planning an open day to be held at Farington Lodge Hotel, for anyone interested in reserving a plot or obtaining more information. Details will be released in due course.

For anyone interested in receiving further information about the site or reserving a plot please contact Northern Trust on 01257 238555.
