Happitots Nursery Thornliebank, 8 Spiersbridge Way, Thornliebank, Glasgow, United Kingdom, G46 8NG

The former Happitots Nursery is being marketed by Christie & Co as a vacant children's day nursery.

Having recently closed, the property could easily be re-established and rebranded as a children's nursery again, with a previous capacity for 103 children. Alternatively, subject to change of use, it would be ideal for an alternative community based facility such as a SEN School (Special Education Needs) or an activity centre.

The current lease runs until April 2030, with the landlord open to extending the lease beyond this date should the incoming tenant meet their required criteria.

Rent is currently £78,000 per year (this is inclusive of VAT) with a service charge in the region of £11,000 per year (this is inclusive of VAT) which is payable monthly alongside the rent.

The former Happitots Nursery is located in a predominantly industrial and commercial area whilst also benefiting from a high degree of residential properties nearby. Being situated just off Speirsbridge Road, minutes away from the M77, it is well positioned for commuters and local residents, providing good access to public transport links and local amenities.

Located to the South of Glasgow, Happitots is less than a 30 minute drive from Glasgow Airport, and a 45 minute bus journey from Glasgow Central Station.

Access to the site is gained via a secure entrance vestibule leading through to a reception and waiting area. Downstairs, there are several playrooms as well as an office space, staff room, laundry room, storage room and toilets, which include a separate shower room. Upstairs, there are three playrooms, a large children's toilet room with napping, changing space, kitchen and an electric cupboard.

Fixtures and fittings illustrated in the images are from after the nursery was permanently closed.

The property benefits from a private rear garden which can be split for separate use between age groups and also features off street parking to the front and side of the building.

The property is being sold with vacant possession and no staffing team in place.

The property is being sold as a vacant leasehold asset with the potential option for a share purchase for interested parties.

The property was formerly registered with the Care Inspectorate to provide childcare to 103 children.
