This listing presents a unique opportunity, but one requiring careful consideration. The property consists of two semi-detached ruin cottages situated on a 2.25-acre plot of land near Stonehouse, South Lanarkshire. The location is rural, offering peace and quiet but lacking immediate access to essential amenities like schools and shops. Public transportation is available, but requires a journey to Larkhall.

The condition of the cottages is poor. Photos reveal significant structural damage and substantial overgrowth. Any potential buyer should anticipate major renovation or even demolition costs. The absence of bedrooms and bathrooms in the listing reflects its current uninhabitable state.

The significant plot size presents a considerable advantage. The 2.25 acres offer potential for development, although this would necessitate planning permission and further evaluation of the land. The area and potential are attractive features.

The asking price of £60,000 reflects the property’s current state, but the potential costs associated with renovation or redevelopment should be thoroughly assessed. Buyers should approach this opportunity with a comprehensive understanding of the necessary work, planning requirements, and financial implications before committing to a purchase. The lack of information on the building sizes means the price per sqft cannot be accurately assessed. The price may be considered reasonable for the land, but any construction costs should be considered, along with potential planning issues.

Therefore, we give this property 4 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
