Plot

A rare opportunity to acquire a former agricultural property with current planning consent to form a dwellinghouse.

The subjects comprise of a two-storey storage building under a pitched roof which has electricity and water.  Surrounding this is a dilapidated and redundant traditional stone-built U-plan agricultural farm steading, on a picturesque rural site extending to approximately 0.26 Ha (0.65 acres). The steading is predominantly of brick and rubble stonework interspersed with vegetation. The original U-plan steading has been altered over the years to provide function to its agricultural use. We understand that the property was previously used for smallholding purposes with chickens and other animals being kept in the grounds. There is a sperate paddock to the East and generous grounds to the west which border newly formed plots currently being marketed for sale by a third party.  Both land parcels have a field gate to the public road. 

This property enjoys the most incredible far reaching views to the south, overlooking the surrounding rural landscape, in a most peaceful and private location. 

 

There are well maintained rural properties, old and new, in the local area and delightful countryside walks to be enjoyed from the doorstep.  The property is approached by a public road with a verge providing parking for approximately three vehicles. 
It is hoped that this property will be converted to form one dwelling house only and a negotiable clawback provision is proposed, to prevent further development. 

 

Avonbridge is highly accessible, lying in a rural yet central location between Edinburgh and Glasgow, which are both readily commutable. Nearby towns include Bathgate (5 miles), Falkirk (6.8 miles), and Linlithgow (7 miles). The village lies at the junction of the B8028 and B825 roads and is a bridging point over the River Avon, hence the name Avonbridge. There is a village shop and a Public House in Avonbridge itself. Further amenities can be found in nearby in Armadale and Bathgate, and a good choice of national and independent retailers in Linlithgow, Falkirk and Livingston.
