This rarely available plot of land is located Mearns Street in Greenock, offering excellent potential for development and is available to purchase through Bowman Rebecchi - The Home of Property.
Occupying a commanding corner position at the junction of Mearns Street and Armadale Place, this attractive brownfield site extends to approximately 0.104 hectares (0.26 acres) and offers excellent potential for future redevelopment, subject to obtaining all necessary statutory consents.
Previously occupied by a Scout Hall and a number of lock-up garages, all of which have now been demolished, the site presents a cleared and broadly rectangular development parcel with a natural gradient that may lend itself to an imaginative residential solution.
Rebecchi Architectural has prepared an indicative concept scheme (link above) illustrating the potential for 12 contemporary two-bedroom apartments with associated resident parking, demonstrating one possible approach to maximising the site’s potential. This illustrative proposal has been prepared for marketing purposes only and no planning application has been submitted nor has any planning consent been granted for residential development.
Located within a predominantly private residential setting, the site enjoys a highly accessible position within walking distance of Greenock town centre and its wide range of amenities, retail provision, leisure facilities and transport links. Excellent road and rail connectivity also provides convenient access throughout Inverclyde and onward to the Greater Glasgow area.
Prospective purchasers should undertake their own due diligence in relation to development potential and satisfy themselves regarding planning, servicing capacity, ground conditions and all other matters relevant to their intended use.
Any future development proposals will require to comply with local planning policy and applicable roads guidance, including provision for off-street parking.
This is a rare opportunity to secure a well-located residential landholding with clear development credentials in one of Greenock’s established residential neighbourhoods.
