A substantial property in Glasgow's Possilpark area, formerly used as a police station, has been brought to the market by Police Scotland as a prime development opportunity. Joint selling agents, Shepherd Chartered Surveyors and BNP Paribas Real Estate, are seeking offers in excess of one hundred and fifty thousand pounds (£150,000) for the site.

The property occupies a prominent corner position at Barloch Street and Bardowie Street, approximately two miles north of Glasgow city centre. The surrounding locality is mixed-use, featuring residential areas, local retailers on nearby Saracen Street, and various commercial premises.

The overall site extends to almost 0.5 acres and includes a substantial secure yard or parking area, adding significant value for potential redevelopment. The main building comprises 12,800 square feet over ground and part first floors. Internally, the ground floor features the former cell block, reception, multiple offices, and staff facilities, while the first floor includes a kitchen/dining area and open-plan multi-function space.

Adam Honeyman, Partner at Shepherd Chartered Surveyors, noted the potential for alternative uses: "The property is zoned as being within a 'Local Town Centre' within the Local Development Plan. Currently vacant, having been used as a police station, it may suit alternative uses subject to obtaining all necessary planning consents."

The site boasts strong transport links, with the A879 providing access to the M8 motorway in around a five-minute drive. Rail services are also easily accessible from nearby Ashfield or Possilpark and Parkhouse stations.
