The subjects comprise a site extending to approximately 0.372 ha (0.92 acre) incorporating two former care homes, Arran House and Skye View Care Centre. There is adjacent garden grounds and parking facilities providing 15 car spaces off the access road from Arran Drive. The two buildings are more particularly described as undernoted:-

We have attached layout plans showing the accommodation described above, however these are not to scale and are provided for indicative purposes only.
ARRAN HOUSE
This building is located at the rear/northmost section of the site and it closed as a care home facility in 2012. The main building is of stone construction with pitched slated roofs. The property has a series of single and two storey extensions which are steel framed, constructed of concrete and have flat roofs.
Given the property has been vacant and unused for a considerable period, it is in poor condition necessitating either complete redevelopment or refurbishment.
We do have indicative layout plans of Arran House which can be made available on request.

Lanarkshire is situated approximately 15 miles east of Glasgow City Centre and, with the neighbouring town of Coatbridge, it forms part of the Monklands conurbation with a population of approximately 90,000.

The surrounding area is largely residential in nature and there have been notable flatted development/conversion schemes at neighbouring properties to the west and north. The subjects overlook public open space and both primary and secondary schools are within a 10 minute walk of the property.
