0.61 Hectare / Retail

For Sale

Available - Last updated: 06 September 2024

Offers are invited from interested parties to bid for plots 1 or 2 of The Vennel or submit an offer for the whole of the development site.

Location

The development site is located within the heart of the popular historic town and Royal Burgh of Linlithgow, West Lothian. Linlithgow is centrally located between Glasgow and Edinburgh and has excellent road and rail links to both cities. It is situated close to the M9 corridor and has a well-established railway station with frequent services to both Edinburgh and Glasgow. The site itself is situated within the bustling town centre in an area known as “The Vennel” which is situated within a mixed-use area with office, retail and parking facilities. The Vennel lies between the busy High Street and the picturesque Linlithgow Loch. Also situated close by are the historic ruins and popular tourist destination of Linlithgow Palace, which are surrounded by the Peel and Royal Parks.

The Vennel is situated within a historic part of the town set within a conservation area and any redevelopment proposal will need to be sympathetic to the existing character, history and have consideration to the existing services and facilities already situated within The Vennel.
