Description

Undoubtedly one of the finest building plots to come to the market of late in the Rhu/Helensburgh area, this fantastic development opportunity is in the hugely popular and picturesque Conservation village of Rhu and enjoys a lovely position to the West of Torwoodhill Road with views over the Firth of Clyde and the entrance to the Gare Loch. Planning permission has been granted for the erection of a substantial single 4 bedroom residential property of one-and-a-half storeys (of around 3000 square feet) and also for a new vehicular access from the main A814 Gareloch Road through the existing stone wall. This boundary wall is listed and as such, the creation of the new opening was subject to a separate listed building planning decision. Currently the 0.8 acre site is best described as open paddock or meadow and features a number of shrubs, bushes and trees on the perimeter which provide screening to the adjacent properties.


A copy of the Decision Notices as issued by Argyll and Bute Council are available online at  the planning section of the website (Ref nos: 23/01503/LIB and 23/01502/PP). Any interested parties are asked to familiarise themselves with all aspects of the Decision Notices prior to making an offer. A copy of the “Planning Design and Access Statement” is available from Clyde Property’s Helensburgh office on request, however, all associated documents and information relating to the Decision Notices (including location plans, proposed site plan, elevation drawings and floor-plans for the proposed house are available on the Argyll and Bute Council website.


The site is only a short distance from the centre of the village of Rhu where there are good day-to-day amenities. These include a local convenience shop, church, highly regarded primary school, Rhu Marina and the Royal Northern and Clyde Yacht Club just along the road. Close to Rhu is the Royal Naval Base at Faslane and in the other direction, the attractive seaside town of Helensburgh offers a wider selection of amenities, including shops, supermarkets, bars, restaurants and cafes, along with many sports clubs and recreational facilities and train stations with services to Glasgow, Edinburgh and even London. There is great sailing on the Gare Loch and the Firth of Clyde and the iconic shores of Loch Lomond are only a few minutes’ drive away from Rhu. Glasgow is also within easy commuting distance as is the International Airport via the Erskine Bridge.
