Whitehill Court has been owned by Bield Housing & Care since property construction in 1975. Bield Housing & Care are a non-profit registered social landlord and Scottish charity organisation, however new challenges including changing customer demographics, expectations and the onset of the new policy expectations within “Housing to 2040” have all contributed to Bield reconsidering their future use of this asset. The declining condition of the property due to its age and maintenance requirements has also led Bield to seek a disposal of this asset at this point in time.
The property comprises 3 blocks which are all two storeys high and linked by corridors and accommodate 46 bedroom and bedsit apartments with communal facilities, administration offices and a day care area. There is small single storey block linked by a corridor and this provides a communal lounge area.
The site incorporates an ancillary, car parking, amenities area plus a South of Scotland electricity board “SSEB” substation.
The developers/purchasers information pack is available to seriously interested parties containing technical reports, plans, planning portal information and Title information.
