Fully serviced large plot with planning permission in prestigious castle estate..
Large freehold plot within Rowallan Castle Estate
Plot 18 at Rowallan Castle Estate offers a rare, fully serviced large plot with existing planning permission for the 3,390 sq ft Giffnock design. The site is freehold and prepared for a substantial detached home (six bedrooms shown in the existing scheme) with integral double garage and generous garden space, all set within a private castle estate about 25 minutes from Glasgow.
The proposed build specification focuses on energy efficiency and comfort: triple glazing, high insulation, air-source heat pump, underfloor heating and mechanical ventilation with heat recovery. These measures are designed to deliver a minimum B-rated EPC and low running costs for an eco-conscious household. The plot suits buyers who want a turnkey design-and-build service or those who prefer to submit an alternative house design for revised planning approval.
Important practical points: broadband speeds at the plot are currently very slow despite excellent mobile signal. The immediate locality is classified as ageing rural and the wider area as agricultural communities; local socio-economic indicators show relatively high deprivation levels. The existing permission indicates only one bathroom for the six-bedroom layout, which may require redesign for some purchasers.
This is a strong opportunity for someone seeking a bespoke modern home in a prestigious rural setting, or for an investor/developer wanting a ready serviced plot with planning in place. Note that any change from the existing Giffnock design will require revised planning approval and associated approvals and costs.
