45.7 acres of strategic development land lying between Applecross Nursing Home and The Hurlet in East Renfrewshire District.

The land incorporates a house ruin (Lot 2) and sits adjacent to a group of houses lying to the south of The Hurlet. There may be scope to extend this cluster of houses.

Planning representations have been lodged with East Renfrewshire Council Planning Department to seek that the land be zoned for housing or that a retirement village be located within the lands.

The lands enjoy an attractive parkland setting North West of the Levern Water and to the south east of the Glasgow Road. They are surrounded by mature woodlands which would screen off any development. The woods also provide good shelter and an attractive setting.

Lot 1 - 12.16 acres.

Grassland and 4.83 acres of mature woodland, the river flows down the east side. The nursing home lies at the south eastern corner. The Glasgow road lies up its North West side and could have a new access installed off it. Site is ideal for a holiday/retirement village

Lot 2 – 0.60 acres.

This is a house ruin.

Lot 3 – 5.50 acres.

This has 4.21 acres of pasture land and 1.36 acres of woodland. The river lies at its east side with the nursing house at the south east end.

Lot 4 – 6.84 acres.

This has 5.46 acres and 1.38 acres of trees.

There are houses up the south east side and the Glasgow road runs up its North West side which should provide good access. The water board will be installing a mains water pipe up the east edge of the land in 2022.

Flood Risk

The south edge of lots 1 and 4 may flood from time to time but most of the land sits much higher than the river and it’s not shown as a flood risk in the SEPA Plans.

Example of a Log House which may secure planning consent within the open countryside setting

These are photographs of a Latvian log house which has been imported and built at Eastfield farm. This is two log houses. They were made in Latvia and shipped to Britain on Lorries and reassembled in a week. The land for sale is zoned in the local plan as open countryside and as such would likely secure planning consent for a managers house which could be occupied on a full time basis but normally you would need to apply for three other log houses as well or maybe two log houses and some pods. It has to be a business and the planners would normally put a condition on the auxiliary house that they can’t be occupied by one family for more than 4 months in the year.
