Description
An exceptional opportunity has arisen to acquire an expansive south-facing building plot extending to approximately 905m² in the highly accessible village of Fauldhouse, offering the rare chance to create a substantial bespoke home from the ground up. With outline planning permission already granted for a one or one-and-a-half storey 4/5 bedroom residence, private access and excellent connections to Edinburgh, Glasgow, Livingston and Lanarkshire, this is a plot with genuine potential and a wealth of possibilities.
The generous and predominantly level nature of the site provides an outstanding canvas for an impressive future home, with ample space to create a property tailored entirely around modern family living. Whether the vision is a striking contemporary residence, a spacious family home or a long-term forever home, the scale of the plot allows the opportunity to create something truly individual. Its south-facing aspect also provides excellent potential to maximise natural light throughout the future property and make the most of the surrounding outdoor space.
The CGI gives a fantastic impression of the property's potential, showcasing the proposed home along with a substantial private driveway leading to impressive front gates. The gated entrance creates a strong sense of arrival, introducing the property with a feeling of privacy, exclusivity and presence from the moment you approach. The generous driveway also provides excellent space for multiple vehicles, visitors and day-to-day family living, while creating an attractive approach to what could become a truly striking private residence. The CGI is intended to help bring the vision for the site to life and demonstrate how the generous plot could be transformed into an impressive, private family home.
Planning reference 0541/P/23 has already been granted and remains valid until 2029, providing valuable time to develop the project and bring your plans to life. The Section 69 Developer's Contribution has also been settled, further enhancing the appeal of the opportunity and removing an important stage from the development process.
A particularly attractive feature is the property's exclusive private access, offering a sense of privacy and tranquillity rarely associated with such a well-connected location. Combined with the proposed gated entrance and substantial driveway, the property has the potential to feel genuinely private and distinguished while remaining within easy reach of the amenities and transport links required for everyday life.
Connectivity is a major advantage, with the M8 motorway located a short distance away and the A71 providing further excellent road links. Edinburgh and Glasgow are both readily accessible, while Fauldhouse railway station provides regular services towards both cities, making commuting straightforward whether travelling by road or rail. The location is also particularly convenient for those travelling towards Livingston and Lanarkshire.
Despite its excellent accessibility, the plot retains a peaceful and open character, giving the future homeowner the opportunity to enjoy a more relaxed setting away from the density of urban living. Greenburn Golf Club is approximately a five-minute walk away, while Aldi and Lidl supermarkets are around a 10-minute drive from the property. The village itself provides a range of local amenities and services, with schools also available within the surrounding community.
What makes this opportunity particularly compelling is the combination of scale, planning permission, private access, proposed gated entrance and location. Approximately 905m² of land provides the freedom to create a substantial home rather than compromise with the limitations of a conventional property, while the existing planning permission gives a clear foundation from which to take the project forward.
For self-builders, this represents the chance to create a home designed around your exact requirements. For families, it offers the opportunity to establish a spacious and individual forever home. For developers and investors, the existing planning position and generous site offer significant potential in an established and well-connected location.
Rarely does an opportunity combine this level of space, planning consent, privacy and connectivity in one package. With the ability to create a 4/5 bedroom home, a substantial private driveway, impressive front gates and excellent transport links, this substantial Fauldhouse plot offers the chance to turn a blank canvas into something genuinely exceptional.
The land is ready for its next chapter. The planning is in place. The vision is clear. Now is the opportunity to create a home that makes an entrance from the moment you arrive.
