Strategic Location & Market Context
Dunoon is the principal town of the Cowal Peninsula, renowned for its scenic waterfront, thriving community, and excellent transport links to Glasgow via regular ferry services. The Alexandra Street area is earmarked in the Argyll and Bute Local Development Plan 2 (adopted 2024) for new housing and sustainable growth, with the council targeting 300 new affordable homes locally. Comparable land sales in the area range from £15,000–£25,000 per plot, confirming the £22,000 guide as highly competitive.
Development & Investment Potential
- Planning: The parcels are suitable for residential or mixed-use development, subject to planning permission. The area is not in a conservation zone, and recent pre-applications for commercial and residential schemes nearby have received positive council engagement.
- Market Demand: Dunoon’s property market is buoyant, with average house prices at £191,000 and private rents up 9.5% year-on-year. The rental market is undersupplied, with only 6 available lets for over 400 registered tenants monthly.
