Location
The property occupies a prominent position close to Rutherglen town centre.
Rutherglen is located within the South Lanarkshire local authority area and comprises a town having a population of around 15,000 persons. It is centred around Main Street which comprises the main retail thoroughfare and which also contains the town’s main civic building, the town hall. Rutherglen has excellent road and public transport connections, particularly since the completion of the M74 motorway extension, which provides direct access to Glasgow City Centre as well as to the South. There are good bus and rail connections from Rutherglen to Glasgow and the wider conurbation.
The property itself is located to the south of Hamilton Road, a short distance east of the main commercial centre, and close to it’s junction with Stonelaw Road (A749), which is accessed directly from Main Street. Rutherglen railway station is located within a 5 minute walk, and there are an abundance of bus services which pass through the town centre.
The surrounding properties generally comprise traditional residential tenemental buildings to the south of the street, with a mix of retail on the ground floor and residential flats on upper floors. Adjacent occupiers include a convenience store, car body shop, sandwich shop and hairdressers.
