The subjects comprise a single storey detached cottage, previously used as a community facility. The property has been vacant for several years and is in an extremely poor condition and is unsuitable for occupation in its present state. Internal accommodation comprises three rooms, kitchen and 2 wc's with a small garden to the front and larger area to the rear. There is currently no vehicular access or parking and there may be difficulty creating a driveway due to the position on the road and elevated garden as it stands.
Location
The property fronts onto Redding Road, Westquarter, (B805). It is situated between a small row of cottages and a Council owned industrial depot. The Edinburgh - Glasgow railway line runs close to the rear garden.
Accommodation
The total plot area extends to 0.0821 Ha (0.2 Acres) or thereby.
Terms
Planning
It is considered that residential is the most appropriate use for the property, notwithstanding there is an industrial depot adjacent to the cottage. There may be interest in demolishing the property and building a new residential dwelling on the site but any rebuild would have to respect the design/building line of the properties to the east.
