South Lanarkshire Council Planning Application No: P/25/1157

Former Coach House Development Opportunity

An excellent opportunity to acquire a traditional former coach house set within approximately 0.19 acres, offering significant development potential in a desirable setting.

The property comprises a two-storey brick-built former coach house, currently arranged as two large open-plan spaces over two levels. The building retains a wealth of character, with a substantial barn-style door providing access, making it ideally suited for conversion.

Full planning permission is in place until 2029 for the conversion of the existing structure into a three-bedroom dwelling, complete with a detached garage. This presents an attractive prospect for developers or private buyers seeking to create a bespoke home.

Externally, the property benefits from an enclosed rear garden, predominantly laid to grass. The garden is bounded by a stone wall to the rear and one side, with a timber fence to the remaining boundary, and is enhanced by a selection of mature trees providing privacy and a pleasant outlook. A new storage container is also located within the grounds.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful building with approved planning consent, set within generous grounds, offering excellent potential for redevelopment into a unique residential property

Vehicular access is taken to the site via an existing historic pend, directly from Carnwath Main Street. This brings you in to a shared courtyard which then provides further access to a private driveway. The plot is serviced and covers approximately 0.19 of an acre.

The current approved plans allow the property to be developed in to a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom property with good sized kitchen diner and dual aspect living room. The plans also include the construction of a detached garage set to the rear of the partially walled garden.
