Undoubtedly one of the finest building plots to come to the market of late in the Rhu/Helensburgh area, this fantastic development opportunity is in the hugely popular and picturesque Conservation village of Rhu and enjoys a lovely position to the West of Torwoodhill Road with views over the Firth of Clyde and the entrance to the Gare Loch. Planning permission has been granted for the erection of a substantial single 4 bedroom residential property of one-and-a-half storeys (of around 3000 square feet) and also for a new vehicular access from the main A814 Gareloch Road through the existing stone wall. This boundary wall is listed and as such, the creation of the new opening was subject to a separate listed building planning decision. Currently the 0.8 acre site is best described as open paddock or meadow and features a number of shrubs, bushes and trees on the perimeter which provide screening to the adjacent properties.
