Planning approved P/24/0111 for two detached houses
Each house: 142 sqm L-shaped footprint (proposed)
At least 250 sqm private rear garden per property
Site size c.0.13 ha (approx 1,300 sqm)
Freehold land with no standing structures
Overgrown site — requires clearance and site preparation
Slow broadband; excellent mobile signal
Local area rated very deprived — consider market demand
This 0.13-hectare freehold plot on Pettinain Road, Carstairs Junction, comes with South Lanarkshire planning approval (P/24/0111) for two detached houses. Each dwelling has a proposed L-shaped footprint of 142 sqm and will benefit from at least 250 sqm of private rear garden, offering clear scope for family homes or attractive resale units once built.
The site is essentially a blank canvas: no standing structures, panoramic leafy views and a semi-rural setting that suits buyers seeking space and privacy. Its rectangular shape and approved layout simplify design and site-works planning for a self-builder or small developer. Excellent mobile signal supports modern connectivity needs, and there is no recorded flood risk.
Buyers should note practical constraints. The plot is overgrown and will require clearance and basic site preparation. Broadband speeds are reported as slow, which may require alternative connectivity solutions. The local area indicators show high deprivation, which could affect local demand and resale values; buyers should factor market position and build specification into viability assessments.
Overall, this is a pragmatic opportunity for someone looking to deliver two new-build homes with approved consent in place. It suits a purchaser comfortable managing site works and local market considerations, whether as a small developer seeking a straightforward planning-to-build project or a self-builder aiming to create substantial family homes in a quiet, semi-rural location.
