Plot at Dalarne, Pier Road, Rhu, Helensburgh, G84

Land size
0.5 acres

Description

McEwan Fraser Legal are delighted to offer a truly unique plot of land for the self-build market. The plot forms part of a very rarely available parcel of land, set within the leafy private grounds at 'Dalarne', a magnificent Victorian villa. The land extends to approximately 1825 sq metres or approximately half an acre in size, with views towards the tranquil waters of the Gare Loch and Firth of Clyde.

The individual plot has been designed to offer the new owners the quintessential stunning home most people dream about. The location has open skies and a bright sunny position. Shared access is via a charming private road, so the plot offers a place for anyone who prefers a more peaceful and utterly unique place to call home.

The plot has full planning permission for the erection of a stunning architect-designed four-bedroom detached home, with an integral garage, and a balcony to enjoy the views. When complete, the property will extend to around 380 square metres, and built to a good standard, we expect it will command a premium value upon completion.

The proposed house will comprise:

Entrance hall
Open plan Lounge/Kitchen/Diner
Utility room.
Home office/Study
Four bedrooms, with three en-suites
Family bathroom
Balcony
Integral garage
Generous garden space

Self-build plots are extremely popular and good ones are a real rarity. This one is just perfect. Early viewing is absolutely essential for anyone interested in building their own 'Grand Design' on a private and secluded plot, with good links to nearby schools, amenities and transport links.
