- Convenient commuter location
Description
Unique development opportunity
We are delighted to present this unique development opportunity in the North Lanarkshire village of Harthill, ideally positioned approximately midway between Edinburgh and Glasgow, offering excellent transport links and strong appeal for future homeowners.
This exciting investment comprises a former Church which benefits from full planning permission (North Lanarkshire Ref: 25/00518/FUL) for conversion into three residential dwellings, presenting an exceptional opportunity to create distinctive homes. Any potential purchaser could change permission to suit, subject to consents.
Adjacent to the Church is a plot of Development Land which is being offered as a separate listing and benefits from Planning Permission in Principle (North Lanarkshire Ref: 25/00176/PPP) for the new build of five detached dwellings. Again possible to change to suit subject to consents. The vendor will consider offers both elements together.
If the Church is sold separately from the Development Land the vendor will assume responsibility for costs related to title split.
With excellent connectivity, approved planning consents already in place, and significant Gross Development Value (GDV) potential, this is sure to attract strong interest from developers, builders, investors and those seeking an exciting residential development project.
Unusually for such a special property this is not a listed building, therefore needs no listed building consents.
Early expression of interest is strongly recommended.
The North Lanarkshire village of Harthill is ideally positioned approximately halfway between Glasgow and Edinburgh making it an attractive choice for commuters, families and developers alike.
The village offers a wide range of everyday amenities and a selection of local independent businesses. For commuters, Harthill is close to the M8 motorway, providing direct access to both Glasgow and Edinburgh. Nearby rail services are available from stations including Shotts, Caldercruix and Armadale. The area is well served for schooling, with Harthill Primary School located within the village and a choice of secondary schools available in the surrounding area, including Calderhead High School in Shotts.
