Willow Bank offers a rare opportunity to acquire an outstanding period building, brimming with character and historic charm, in the heart of Newton-le-Willows Conservation Area. Currently classified as a commercial property, this unique building presents significant scope for conversion into a residential dwelling (subject to the necessary permissions), making it an ideal prospect for those seeking a distinctive home with fascinating heritage.
Positioned on a generous 0.8-acre plot in an elevated location, Willow Bank enjoys commanding views over Newton Lake and the picturesque Willow Park. Set discreetly off Southworth Road behind secure gates, the property offers both privacy and exclusivity, while the approach reflects the grandeur of its historical roots.
The surrounding area is steeped in rich local history, having once formed part of the esteemed Legh family estate. The house is believed to have been owned by George McCorquodale, a prominent figure in the local printing industry, adding further provenance and narrative to the property. This sense of heritage enhances Willow Bank’s unique appeal.
Inside, the building retains a wealth of period features, including ornate cornicing, intricate Minton floor tiles, large skirting boards, decorative architraves, soaring ceilings, panelled doors with original brass fittings, and feature fireplaces. These authentic details evoke a sense of bygone craftsmanship and provide an inspiring canvas for sympathetic restoration or adaptation.
The current layout, as illustrated in the accompanying floorplan, demonstrates the building’s flexibility. Previously configured as two apartments, many original characteristics of the former single dwelling remain, making a conversion relatively straightforward. This versatile arrangement allows for a range of future uses, whether as a substantial family home, a pair of luxury apartments, or a combination of home and workspace (subject to planning consents).
Willow Bank stands as a testament to the area’s architectural and social history, offering an unrivalled opportunity to create a bespoke living environment within a truly special setting. The combination of period detailing, historical significance, and potential for transformation makes this property a rare and exciting proposition for discerning buyers. Early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the full scope and potential of this remarkable building.
