Description
An exciting opportunity to acquire a substantial building plot
The site benefits from planning permission for an impressive 482 sqm two-storey dwelling house together with a detached double garage, offering an excellent opportunity to create a substantial bespoke home in an exceptional lochside setting. Planning permission was originally granted in September 2007 under planning reference 07/P/1/0206. Dumfries and Galloway Council has confirmed that earthworks have commenced on the site, meaning the planning permission remains valid. Prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves as to the current planning position and any requirements associated with progressing the development.
The plot enjoys a highly attractive roadside and lochside position, with stunning views across Loch Ryan and a beautiful green backdrop. The combination of the generous site area, substantial proposed dwelling and outstanding setting makes this an appealing opportunity for a private developer, self-builder or investor. The site is conveniently located close to local bus services, with stops nearby, and is less than one mile from Cairnryan Port, providing regular ferry connections to Larne and Belfast. Stranraer is approximately 6 miles away, providing a wider range of shopping, leisure and educational facilities.
Cairnryan is a popular coastal village situated on the shores of Loch Ryan in Dumfries and Galloway, renowned for its scenic setting and excellent transport links. The village is home to Cairnryan Ferry Port, providing direct connections to Northern Ireland, while the A77 provides convenient access to Stranraer and the wider road network. The surrounding area offers beautiful coastal and countryside scenery, making Cairnryan an attractive location for those seeking a tranquil setting with excellent connectivity.
