Description

***GOING TO ONLINE AUCTION***

Brighton & Beck Online Auctions offer an exciting opportunity to acquire a substantial development plot in the picturesque rural setting of Glendaruel, Argyll, offered to auction with a highly attractive guide price of just £20,000.

The site forms part of a larger area of land which previously benefited from planning permission for the erection of three dwellinghouses together with the installation of a septic tank, under planning reference 11/01860/PP. The historic permission was granted on 23 November 2011; however, the consent has since lapsed.

Plot 1 has already been sold, with the land being offered at auction comprising Plots 2 and 3 together with the additional land extending down towards the point of the site. The previous approved plans provide purchasers with a useful indication of the residential development potential historically associated with the wider site.

The land occupies an attractive position surrounded by mature woodland and open countryside, enjoying beautiful elevated views across the Glendaruel valley and surrounding hills. Given the setting, size and character of the site, there may also be potential to explore alternative uses such as bespoke holiday lodges, cabins or holiday-let accommodation, which could complement the area's strong rural and tourism appeal, subject to planning permission and all other necessary consents and approvals.

At a guide price of only £20,000, this is an unusual opportunity for developers, self-build purchasers, land investors, or holiday accommodation operators seeking a sizeable rural site with a historic residential planning precedent and scope to explore a range of future uses.

Glendaruel lies within the beautiful Cowal Peninsula in Argyll and Bute, an area characterised by dramatic glens, woodland, hills and outstanding rural scenery. The wider Cowal area is bordered by Loch Fyne, Loch Long and the Firth of Clyde and is particularly popular for walking, cycling, sailing and outdoor pursuits, while the Loch Lomond & Cowal Way passes through the Glendaruel area. The nearby village of Colintraive provides local facilities and a regular ferry connection to the Isle of Bute, while the larger town of Dunoon offers a wider range of shops, services and onward ferry connections across the Clyde. Glendaruel combines a peaceful rural setting with access to the wider Cowal Peninsula, making it an attractive location for residential, holiday or self-build development, subject to the necessary consents.
