An historic property close to Airdrie is set to go under the hammer with Auction House Scotland next month. Formerly the Hillend View Care Home, this distinctive Victorian building and substantial, circa 2.6 acre plot, will be sold via livestream auction at 2pm on Thursday 15th May, with a competitive guide price of just £370,000+.
Originally a hotel, the sandstone property was extended many times and then converted into a care home in the 1980s. Hillend View Care Home was a registered care home for up to 80 adults with mental health problems, associated disabilities and health issues.
Hillend View Care Home closed in 2022 and the abandoned property was deliberately set on fire last summer. The fire and the emergency services’ response was recently shown on BBC’s “Paramedics on Scene”.
Aa result, the original Victorian building is severely fire damaged and is unsafe to enter. The detached extension to the rear of the property has been reduced to rubble.
The property sits on a substantial plot and has redevelopment potential for a number of end uses, such as a country hotel or residential homes (subject to planning). The property is located on Airdrie Road, on the outskirts of Caldercruix, and has beautiful views over Hillend Loch. All the necessary amenities for everyday living can be found in the nearby towns of Airdrie & Coatbridge including a range of shops, supermarkets, primary and secondary schools, medical centres and a variety of bars and restaurants.
