Extensive compound with buildings and yard, suitable for countryside-appropriate redevelopment or commercial reuse.
Huge plot c.1.8 hectares (c.4.46 acres)
A substantial former water treatment works occupying c.1.8 hectares (c.4.46 acres) in an elevated rural setting one mile from Neilston and eight miles from Glasgow. Two main buildings and ancillary structures sit within a fenced compound with extensive hardstanding and a large surfaced yard suitable for HGV turning, storage or conversion to countryside-appropriate uses.
The site is freehold, built in the mid-1990s, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for commercial operators or rural enterprises. Within the East Renfrewshire Local Plan 2022 the parcel sits in the green belt; Policy D3 supports re-use of existing buildings for agriculture, renewable energy or other countryside-compatible uses and indicates housing release may be appropriate in certain circumstances.
Prospective buyers should budget for industrial remediation, full services assessment and planning constraints linked to green-belt designation. The property has no flood risk but sits in an area of high deprivation and limited immediate local demand, which may affect timing and end-use viability.
This plot will appeal to developers, rural businesses and investors able to navigate green belt policy and carry out structural, contamination and services works. It offers rare scale and existing infrastructure, making it a strategic long-term landholding with multiple conversion or operational options subject to consent.
