The farmhouse septic tank is in the northerly field
There is a vehicular right of access down the farm track to the house gates and to the gate at the end of the field. The bottom gate over the bridge is not access into the bottom field.
Both lots have a burn running through the fields and the burn could be dammed to create lochs. The fields would be ideal for having pods or log houses for renting out. This would require planning consent.
The main outlook is to the east where there is presently a large door. A large conservatory could be added without planning permission as it would be permitted development. This would
give a southerly outlook. I think that the planners would allow a 20% increase in the footprint over and above the existing footprint. There is an extension on the south (69.79sqm), you could go back and make a variation of the existing planning consent by converting this extension plus try to secure an overall 20% increase but the seller would prefer to secure an immediate sale rather than subject to planning consent.

On the next page is a recent government policy document on the government trying to encourage development of brownfield sites. Because the original consent dates back to 2007, it could be argued that a newbuild house would be more economically viable with good foundations as opposed to a conversion where a kit house would be lowered into the existing shell.
1.2 I understand that the Linhouse Farmhouse has a septic tank in the lot 1 lands. They have a right of access to maintain this outfall pipe and septic tank.
1.3 I understand that there is a private water supply off the public mains which goes over Lot 1. I understand the farmhouse, 2 steading conversions, the farmhouse and sheds over the road have supplies off this pipe so they have a servitude for the supply over Lot 1’s Land. A plan showing the route of the water supply is required.
1.4 The Lot 1 owners have a right of access down the farm down the west side of their shed and into the property of Lot 1. I don’t know if they own this. The Quarry, the barn, the farmhouse and Lot 2 also have right of access maintenance is fresuably on a user basis?
1.5 The planning consent is live because the other farm steading house conversions were completed within the 4 years from the original consent. This triggered the consent for Lots 1 & 2.
2.0 There is an excellent Wi-Fi connection at the steading.
We have received email confirmation from Falkirk Council which states the following:
“I can confirm that planning permission was granted on 07 March 2007 under planning application 06/0099/ful for the Alterations, Extension and Conversion of Farm Outbuildings to Form 4 Dwellinghouses at Linhouse Farm. This consent was implemented and therefore remains live in perpetuity.”
Directions
From Edinburgh head out of the M9 until you turn off at (J4) Polmont (A801). Proceed for a couple of miles to a roundabout and take third left to Standburn and onto Avonbridge. From the north of Avonbridge proceed southwards through the village. Go past the shop and turn left at the end of the village, where the trees are and take the first turn on the right (its quiet sharp). Continue for a couple of hundred yards and turn first left. Continue for about ¾ of a mile until you reach Linhouse Farm on the left hand side of the road. Turn first left down between two barns and turn first right at the end of the right barn, this is where the three car parking spaces are.
From Glasgow head out on the M8 to J4 (Bathgate) head north on the A801. Go straight on for the first two roundabouts and turn left at the third roundabout signposted Westfield. Go straight along the north of Westfield and as you come into Avonbridge turn left just before the mature trees on your left and continue as above.
