Property Description

A particularly rare and exciting development opportunity, Beech Cottage occupies a private south-facing plot, within an established residential pocket of Giffnock. The site benefits from existing planning permission and an approved building warrant for the conversion and extension of the detached double garage to create an impressive two-storey mews house.

The consented design has been carefully planned to retain elements of the original building’s character, including its boundary line and distinctive barn-style sliding door, while introducing a new first floor beneath an extended roof with a dormer window and rooflights. The generous internal accommodation is designed to provide considerable flexibility and could potentially be further adapted, subject to obtaining any necessary consents.
On the ground floor, the approved layout incorporates a spacious open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining area, together with a separate study, utility room, store, bathroom, WC and entrance porch. The study provides excellent flexibility and could potentially be used as an additional bedroom, home office or snug depending on the needs of the purchaser.

The first-floor accommodation is designed around a generous bedroom suite, comprising the bedroom, bathroom with vanity unit and shower, and a store or walk-in wardrobe. The upper hall is enhanced by rooflights and a dormer window, bringing additional natural light into this level.

A significant additional feature is the separate outbuilding positioned at the southern end of the plot. This building has already been fully renovated and is currently fitted out as an office, providing immediately usable ancillary space. It includes a shower room with WC, electric underfloor heating, mains water and drainage, together with access to the three-phase electricity supply installed on the plot. FTTP fibre broadband approval is also in place as part of the proposed build.

The area surrounding the office has been landscaped with artificial grass, porcelain paving and established flower beds. The wider plot enjoys a favourable south-facing aspect, distant southerly views and mature vegetation, providing natural screening and a good degree of privacy from neighbouring properties. Vehicular access is already established directly from Berryhill Road, while the approved site plan also makes provision for an electric vehicle charging point. A tree survey has been completed and is available for inspection.

The site benefits from mains electricity, water and sewer connections, with three-phase electricity already installed. There is presently no gas connection. The existing electricity supply serving the outbuilding has been designed so that it can be rerouted to the principal house when constructed, avoiding the requirement for an entirely new electricity connection.

The property is positioned within a highly desirable and established residential area of Giffnock, surrounded by a mixture of traditional villas, contemporary homes and mature landscaped plots. Giffnock railway station and regular bus services along Fenwick Road provide convenient connections into Glasgow city centre, while an excellent selection of shops, cafés and restaurants can be found within walking distance. The property is also situated in close proximity to St Ninian’s High School and falls within the catchment area for Woodfarm High School.
Beech Cottage represents a truly individual opportunity to create a distinctive home in one of Giffnock’s most sought-after residential settings. With planning permission, an approved building warrant, established access, services already available and a beautifully finished separate office building in place, the site offers an excellent starting point from which to bring the consented mews house design to life.
