Forrestfield House is a substantial detached property set in about 3.2 acres of private grounds in rural North Lanarkshire, presented with a rare, high‑spec outbuilding previously used for professional dog breeding. The main house offers flexible family accommodation across two storeys — four bedrooms, three reception rooms, a large living room with a log burner and a generous kitchen/dining room — plus a double garage and extensive parking. The plot’s size and secure fencing suit grazing, dog training, equestrian uses or further development subject to consents.
The outbuilding is a key value driver: seamless resin floors, underfloor heating served by an air‑to‑water heat pump, MVHR ventilation, individually thermostatic rooms, CCTV and ten individual suites make it ready for dog boarding, grooming, training or veterinary‑type uses. The building’s durable finishes and services reduce immediate fit‑out costs for similar commercial activities.
Buyers should note a few material negatives. The house has a single main bathroom (plus an en‑suite) and an EPC rating of E. Broadband speeds are very slow here despite excellent mobile signal; the wider area is classified as very deprived which may affect resale in some markets. Council tax is above average. The property will need ongoing maintenance across a large plot and any change of commercial use would require checking local planning and licensing requirements.
This chance suits a purchaser seeking a countryside family home with income or business potential, an entrepreneur wanting an established small animal facility, or an investor who values large landholding and flexible outbuildings within commutable distance of Airdrie and Glasgow.
