Summary - HOME FARM COTTAGE, HARTWOOD ROAD, SHOTTS ML7 4JY
1 bed 1 bath House
Extensive rural holding with redevelopment and agricultural potential.
Approximately 5.83 hectares (14.4 acres) of pasture and woodland belts
Hartwood Home Farm is a substantial rural holding of about 5.83 hectares (14.4 acres) offering a three‑bed farmhouse, a four‑bed apartment above former research offices, a modern detached bungalow (previously offices) and an extensive range of traditional and modern agricultural buildings. The site has long views across pasture and belts of mature woodland and sits close to Hartwood station with road links to the M8, making it accessible to both Glasgow and Edinburgh commuters.
The buildings and dwellings are sold needing comprehensive modernisation and renovation. The farmhouse retains character features such as stone surrounds, slate hearths and wood‑burning stoves, while the attached stone extension and upper flat provide substantial additional floor area formerly used for research offices. The bungalow offers flexible accommodation in six offices and a large reception room. Many outbuildings — former dairy, cattle courts, sheep shed, hay stores and open cattle housing — create broad scope for continued agricultural use or conversion subject to consents.
Practical considerations include a private water supply connected at the road edge, mains electricity, slurry tank drainage for livestock sheds, and very slow broadband with average mobile signal. The site is subject to a 15‑year clawback: 50% of any uplift in value from new residential planning consent (except for the existing farmhouse, upper flat and detached bungalow) must be paid to Forestry and Land Scotland. A right of access is retained across the site to the adjacent graveyard and former hospital grounds.
Offers are being invited by a closing date (25 November at 12 noon). Interested parties should submit proposals in Scottish legal terms and include a statement of intent outlining proposed uses and any public‑benefit elements, which will be assessed against economic, social and environmental criteria. The holding suits buyers seeking a large agricultural unit, redevelopment potential (subject to planning and clawback), or a rural project for restoration and diversification.
