Location
The property is formed to the north of Upper Bourtree Drive, between it’s junctions with Crawfur Road and Upper Bourtree Court, within the Burnside area of Glasgow, a short distance south of Rurtherglen and approximately 6 miles south-east of Glasgow City Centre.
Upper Bourtree Drive is accessed via Burnside Road, which itself is accessed via Willow Boulevard (A730) which comprises the main road leading from Rutherglen town centre to East Kilbride (via East Kilbride Road). There are good public transport connections available close-by, with Burnside railway station being formed a short distance to the north, and a number of local bus services serving adjoining streets.
The property is formed within a residential area, with a mix of detached and semi-detached houses of varying styles.
Description
The property comprises a detached building, constructed of modern cavity brick and with a pitched/mono-pitched roof. Access to the building is via a large aluminium-framed twin leaf feature doorway, with additional fire escape access to the rear, both of which provide full disabled access.
The property sits on a substantial, well-maintained and regularly shaped site with garden area formed to the front, with a tarmac carpark providing 19 car spaces, including two disabled bays. Outstanding views are afforded over the Glasgow conurbation and beyond towards Dumbarton, Loch Lomond and the Campsies.
Internally, the property is formed on a single floor and is subdivided to form main worship area (informal partitioning can split space), office, kitchen male (accessible) and female toilet accommodation, font, meeting room and boiler room.
The main worship area has a concrete floor with carpeted finish, facing brick walls and ceiling of acoustic tiles, with artificial lighting being by means of a combination of fixed and pendant lighting. There is excellent natural daylighting via large windows which overlook the substantial gardens.
The remaining space is fitted to a similar standard, with concrete floor and carpeted/vinyl floor coverings, plasterboard or facing brick walls and a combination of plasterboard and acoustic tiled ceilings.
The toilets are formed off the main hallway and comprise separate male and female toilets. Adjacent to these is a hallway containing large storage cupboards.
Heating within the building is via a gas-fired central heating system which serve water filled radiators.
Alternative uses
The building would represent an excellent opportunity for conversion to residential use, either as a substantial single dwellinghouse or for redevelopment, subject to the necessary consents being obtained.
Alternatively, the existing buildings could be used in their existing form by a church organisation,
youth group, sports club, dance company, charity or similar type operator.
In addition, there is potential to convert for a number of commercial uses e.g. children’s nursery, craft centre, art gallery, medical centre etc. subject to planning.
