The subjects comprise an irregular shaped industrial site previously occupied by a Garden Centre and accessed via a private road off Whistleberry Road. The subjects lie to the rear of the Caterpillar complex and, in part, slope towards Park Burn. There is a detached stone built former dwelling on site, converted to form office and support accommodation, together with some small outbuildings. The site has also previously been used for storage of soil and we are advised there are around 500,000 tonnes on site. This provides a potential purchaser the opportunity of selling the soil on the open market.
Location
The subjects are situated on a spur off Whistleberry Road, the main thoroughfare within the established and popular Whistleberry Industrial Estate to the west of Hamilton and close to Blantyre. Whistleberry Road links directly onto the A725 expressway, minutes from Junction 5 of the M74. Nearby occupiers include Caterpillar, Portacabin, Shields Car Centre and Scottish Water, amongst others. Hamilton is a town of over 40,000 persons located in South Lanarkshire region, approximately 12 miles south east of Glasgow and has a catchment in excess of 350,000 persons within a 6 mile radius of the town. The town enjoys a strategic location adjacent to the M74 which provides easy road access to Glasgow, surrounding towns and the national motorway network. There is a main railway station providing regular services to Glasgow and surrounding Lanarkshire towns.
Accommodation

An element of the site is unusable due to a slope towards Park Burn and we estimate the usable area to be in the region of: 1.28 ha (3.16 acres), or thereby.
