This building plot located in the scenic Conservation village of Rhu presents a notable opportunity for development in a desirable area. The generous 0.8-acre site, currently characterized as open paddock or meadow, benefits from a tranquil setting with established shrubs and trees providing natural screening from neighboring properties. Given its strategic location to the west of Torwoodhill Road, the property offers impressive views over the Firth of Clyde and towards the entrance of Gare Loch.
Planning permission has been secured for a substantial single residential dwelling comprising four bedrooms across one and a half storeys, totaling approximately 3,000 square feet. Additionally, approval has been granted for new vehicular access via the existing stone wall along A814 Gareloch Road, which is a listed structure requiring careful consideration in any development plans.
The site’s proximity to Rhu enhances its appeal; local amenities such as a convenience shop, church, well-regarded primary school, and Rhu Marina are all within easy reach. Furthermore, residents can enjoy access to the Royal Northern and Clyde Yacht Club nearby. The Royal Naval Base at Faslane adds another layer of connectivity to potential investment returns, while Helensburgh offers broader retail options along with various recreational pursuits.
For those seeking outdoor activities, sailing on the Gare Loch and Firth of Clyde is readily accessible. The iconic landscapes of Loch Lomond are just a short drive away, making this location ideal for both leisure and investment. With Glasgow easily reachable via major transport routes including the Erskine Bridge leading to the International Airport, this area combines appealing lifestyle options with significant development potential. Interested parties are encouraged to review all planning documentation available through Argyll and Bute Council and assess this promising opportunity further.
