Historic former care home property close to Airdrie to go under the hammer
A historic property close to Airdrie is set to go under the hammer. Formerly Hillend View Care Home, the distinctive Victorian building and substantial, circa 2.6-acre plot, will be sold by Auction House Scotland via livestream auction at 2pm on Thursday, May 15, with a guide price of £370,000-plus. 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. It closed in 2022 and the abandoned property was deliberately set on fire last summer. As a result, the original Victorian building is severely fire damaged and 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 and Coatbridge , including "a range of shops, supermarkets, primary and secondary schools, medical centres and a variety of bars and restaurants". For commuters, the property is also well situated for access to the motorway network including the M8, M74, and M80, while Caldercruix train station provides regular services to both Edinburgh and Glasgow. Interested buyers must register to bid for the livestream auction on the Auction House Scotland website by 6pm on May 14, with options to bid online, by telephone or by proxy.
