This semi‑detached, single‑storey bungalow on Motherwell High Street is a clear opportunity for investors or developers. The site comes with granted planning permission for a three‑bedroom detached house, a major value driver for redevelopment or a rebuild project. The plot includes off‑street parking, a generous rear garden and an average built footprint (approx. 1,173 sq ft) suitable for extension or replacement subject to consent.
The existing bungalow requires full modernisation throughout — internal and external upgrading is needed, and the accommodation currently provides three bedrooms and a single bathroom. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, making the location practical for rental or resale once improved. The freehold tenure simplifies ownership for development purposes.
Buyers should be aware of material drawbacks: the property sits in an area classed as very deprived, which can affect rental yields, resale speed and finance options. The house needs renovation, and any redevelopment will require adherence to the approved planning and local authority requirements. Council tax is moderate and flooding risk is low.
For the right purchaser — experienced investor, developer or a buyer seeking a project with planning already granted — this plot offers tangible upside through redevelopment or a substantially improved finished home. The rear tree line provides a semi‑private outlook and the High Street location gives immediate access to transport and amenities.
