News Article: Historic Plot in Tarbrax, South Lanarkshire, Offers Opportunity for Modern Home
Nestled in the picturesque countryside of South Lanarkshire, Scotland, lies a unique building plot with a rich history and a promising future. The plot, once home to Maidenwellbrow Cottage – a former toll house built in the 1770s – now stands as an opportunity for a modern home with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.
The plot, located in the quaint village of Tarbrax, offers a chance to reimagine the space that was once surrounded by the industrial landscape of shale oil works. After the industry's decline in 1926, the cottage was abandoned and now stands roofless with large gaps in its stone walls. However, with planning permission for a new split-level home in place, the plot presents an exciting opportunity for those seeking to create a home surrounded by natural beauty.
The proposed home design includes a decked area accessible from the open-plan living space, three bedrooms, a bathroom, and a workshop space on the lower floor. The split-level design allows for panoramic views of the countryside from the first floor living area, kitchen, and master bedroom. Building on a sloping site can result in higher costs compared to building on flat terrain, but the breathtaking views and unique character of the location make it a worthwhile investment.
The plot is conveniently located just an hour's drive from Edinburgh, making it an ideal location for those seeking a peaceful escape from city life while still being within easy reach of urban amenities.
Anyone interested in purchasing land in Tarbrax can submit a request or inquiry, typically individuals, developers, or businesses, depending on local regulations and availability. To make an offer for the plot, enquire on Homebuilding & Renovating's Plotfinder website or call the agent at 0131 524 9797. Offers over £125,000 are being considered for the plot.
The plot offers views of the countryside from all angles, making it an ideal location for those seeking a rural retreat with modern comforts. With its rich history and promising future, the Maidenwellbrow plot in Tarbrax presents an exciting opportunity for those seeking a unique home in a picturesque location.
