Development Site Drumshoreland Road, Pumpherston, Livingston, EH53

Land size
2.42 acres

Description

An exciting opportunity to acquire a site benefitting from planning permission in principle for 22 residential units extending to 0.98ha or thereby.

The site benefits from planning permission in principle which was recently granted for residential development (22 houses).

The Vendor is not aware of any services/connections on the site but all utilities are available at the Drumshoreland Road and the adjacent “James Young House” and the “Club House” of the Pumpherston Golf club. We understand that adjacent to the site there is mains water, electricity and drainage. Prospective Purchasers should undertake their own due diligence.

The site is situated on the outskirts of Pumpherston, near Livingston in West Lothian in an accessible yet relatively rural situation adjacent to Phumpherston Golf Glub.

Access can easily be taken to the Central Belt transport links including the M8, A71 and M9.

Pumpherston is a popular village on the outskirts of Livingston, offering a pleasant residential setting while remaining extremely convenient for everyday amenities and commuting including The Centre and Livingston Designer Outlet, which provide an excellent selection of shops, restaurants, cafés and leisure facilities.

There are local shops and services within the surrounding area, while schooling is available locally at both primary and secondary level. For those who enjoy the outdoors there are plenty of pleasant walking routes and green spaces nearby, including Almondell and Calderwood Country Park which offers extensive woodland walks and scenic riverside trails.

Commuters are particularly well served, with excellent transport links close by. Livingston North and Uphall railway stations provide regular services to both Edinburgh and Glasgow, while the nearby M8 motorway allows straightforward road access across the Central Belt. As such, the location offers an ideal balance between village living and easy connectivity to the surrounding towns and cities.
