General

SITUATION

Wester Fulwood Barn is an outstanding development opportunity located near the highly desirable conservation village of Houston in Renfrewshire. The property is located within close proximity of an excellent transport infrastructure with Glasgow City centre (about 16 miles) accessible within a 20 minute drive. There is a regular train service to Glasgow from the railway station in Johnstone (about 6 miles) whilst Glasgow International Airport is about 5 miles away offering regular scheduled flights to many UK and international destinations. Nearby, Houston has local shopping, highly regarded primary and secondary schooling and three Inns / pubs. Private schooling for girls and boys is available at St. Columba’s in Kilmacolm (about 7 miles) and at a number of schools in Glasgow. Excellent shopping facilities are available at Paisley (about 6 miles) and the Braehead Shopping Centre (about 8 miles) whilst Glasgow is considered as one of the country’s premier shopping destinations and also offers an excellent range of restaurants, theatres, galleries and clubs.

There are a number of well known golf courses in the area including the Kilmacolm Golf Course, Erskine Golf Club near Bishopton and the ‘Old Ranfurly Golf Course’ at Bridge of Weir. Loch Lomond and the Trossachs are about 20 miles to the north across the Erskine Bridge offering an array of water sports, mountaineering and hill walking opportunities. There are exceptional yachting facilities available at Gourock and at the marinas in Rhu and Inverkip.

Development opportunities in rural Renfrewshire and in such close proximity to the village of Houston come to the market very infrequently and the barn at Wester Fulwood offers purchasers a magnificent opportunity to create an outstanding detached house with fine views over open countryside.

The existing structure is in excellent condition and significant maintenance wok has been carried out in recent years.Full planning consent and building warrants have recently been obtained for the conversion of the existing building into a substantial detached house with a gross internal floor area extending to about 275m² (2900 ft²). Accommodation is planned as follows; Hall, living room, lounge, dining kitchen, utility room, study, wc, master suite (bedroom, shower room and dressing room), family bathroom and 4 bedrooms (1 en-suite). The proposed dwelling incorporates a number of fine features including a bank of magnificent picture windows on the north facing wall.
