Description
The property is situated to the southeast of Torphichen, accessed from the B792 onto Cathlaw Lane.
This former agricultural property is bounded by a road to the south and to the west and has a ruinous farm building with hardstanding and a field area. We understand the property was formerly an agricultural property but more recently used as a petrol station. The site extends to approximately 1.84 hectares (3.65 acres). Planning Permission was obtained in 2020 for residential development which has now lapsed.
The immediate land to the east has been developed for high end residential purposes. The land extends to approximately 1.31 hectares (3.23 acres) in total of Class 5:1 rough grazing.
The ruinous buildings and area of hardstanding occupy approximately 0.17 hectares (0.42 acres).
The development site is situated at the corner of Cathlaw Lane and is a prominent landmark on the Southern gateway to the village of Torphichen. Transport links include rail connections from Bathgate (2.6 miles) and Linlithgow (4.6miles), as well as Armadale (4 miles) which is a short car journey away, and Polmont and Falkirk provide further connections. Torphichen is also well placed for national and international air travel: Edinburgh International Airport is less than 20 miles away via the M9, and Glasgow International Airport is equidistant along the M8.
The proposed houses would fall into the catchment area for Linlithgow Academy and the local primary school, Torphichen Primary School, is within easy walking distance.
There is a full range of supermarkets and shopping facilities in nearby Bathgate and Linlithgow, and The Livingston Designer Outlet is just over 8 miles away.
The neighbouring countryside is some of the finest in Central Scotland. The Avon Gorge, Beecraigs, Polkemmet and Muiravonside country parks are within easy access. There are some fascinating walks through the Bathgate hills and in the nearby, historic burgh of Linlithgow with its picturesque palace and loch. Local leisure opportunities include everything from fishing to horse riding and golf. In Bathgate and Linlithgow, you will find well equipped sports centres too.
