Description
Ronald Ross are delighted to present to the market this exceptional development opportunity at North Muirdykes Farm, Bowfield Road, Howwood, Renfrewshire.
Set within approximately 1 acre of land and surrounded by stunning open countryside, this traditional stone-built farm steading offers purchasers a rare opportunity to create a truly outstanding residential development in one of Renfrewshire’s most sought-after semi-rural locations.
The property is being offered for sale with outline planning permission in place, allowing the existing steading to be transformed into either one substantial luxury dwelling or three impressive 1.5 storey linked villas, making this an ideal opportunity for developers, investors, or those seeking to create a bespoke countryside home.
Positioned on the desirable Bowfield Road, the property enjoys uninterrupted panoramic views across the Renfrewshire countryside while still benefiting from excellent accessibility to Glasgow and the wider Central Scotland area.
The charming village of Howwood is located nearby and offers a range of local amenities including shops, cafés, restaurants, and the popular Bowfield Hotel & Country Club. Excellent transport links are available via Howwood Train Station, providing convenient commuting access to Glasgow and beyond.
The surrounding countryside offers an abundance of outdoor leisure pursuits including scenic country walks, cycling routes, horse riding, and bird watching along the nearby river, making this an idyllic location for those seeking a balance of rural living and modern convenience.
The existing accommodation within the farmhouse comprises a lounge, dining kitchen, utility room, bathroom, and gardens, however the true value lies within the exciting redevelopment potential offered by the site.
Copies of planning consents and proposed plans are available upon request to genuinely interested parties.
Please note this is a commercial sale and therefore no Home Report is available.
