Location
LOCATION
Darnley is located to the south west of Glasgow and is accessed via the A727 to the west of Arden. The widening of the A736 to dual carriageway status in 1983 heralded the development of the Nitshill corridor as a light industrial and retail location. Darnley Trading Estate and large retail outlets are clustered around the southward extension of Junction 3 of the M77. Occupiers include Sainsbury’s supermarket and petrol station, B&Q, Carphone Warehouse, McDonald’s, Domino’s Pizza, KFC and the newly opened “Marston’s”. Barrhead which lies a short distance to the west of the site, also offers a reasonable range of facilities within the town centre.
Located a short distance from Junction 3 of the M77 motorway network, this rare development opportunity occupies a semi-rural location fronting the north side of the B773 Darnley Road. The site is bound to the east by Salterland Road, whilst the Levern
Water runs to the north west boundary.
The B773 Darnley Road which runs along the front elevation of the site, is a busy thoroughfare linking Darnley with Barrhead and provides excellent communication links to all local amenities.
Over the years, a number of developments have taken place within the immediate vicinity to include Stewart Milne, Bryant and Persimmon a short distance to the east. More recently, additional “mixed use” development is ongoing at the nearby 35 acre “Darnley Mains” site.
Accommodation
DESCRIPTION
The site offers an excellent development opportunity (subject to planning) and comprises a Greenfield site offering extended views over the countryside. From information provided, we calculate the site to extend to approximately 9.5 hectares (23.5 acres) or thereby.
The site itself is directly adjacent to the Parkhouse Manor Care Home with clear identifiable boundaries having a gradual downwards slope from south to north.
Site boundaries generally comprise hedgerow and mature trees, particularly to the north-east boundaries.
Salterland Road leads directly off the main B773 Darnley Road and it is assumed provides direct access into the site.
