Ochil View, Muckhart FK14

Harper & Stone are delighted to present an exceptional development opportunity located in the charming and picturesque village of Muckhart. The village is surrounded by beautiful walking routes and enjoys the convenience of being within easy strolling distance of the local pub, café, and community centre.

The original cottage comprised two bedrooms, a lounge, kitchen, and bathroom, though much of the structure was unfortunately lost to fire. Approved plans now offer an exciting vision for the site, with the proposal including increasing the building to 1.5 storeys, extending to the rear, and transforming the internal layout from a modest two bedroom cottage into a spacious four bedroom home.

Positioned within a designated conservation area, the property requires the retention of the original façade, preserving its historic character. However, the council have shown strong support for bringing the building back into use, reflected in their approval for a significant expansion of the property’s footprint.

Permission has also been granted to demolish the existing stables at the rear of the plot, allowing for the creation of two dedicated parking spaces. The property has also now been reconnected to electricity, potentially saving £1000’s in utilities reconnection costs.

Externally, the cottage occupies a generously sized plot, with the rear garden enjoying open, views across the surrounding countryside. The setting offers a wonderful sense of space and privacy, enhancing the appeal of the redevelopment potential.

This property represents an outstanding opportunity for private buyers or developers alike to breathe new life into a once cherished home.

Due to the unsafe condition of the cottage, viewings of the property and surrounding land are restricted to external inspection only, from behind the security railings. Internal viewings are not available, and access to the site is strictly prohibited. Neither Harper & Stone nor the vendor accepts any liability for injury or damage incurred as a result of unauthorised entry onto the development site.

Viewings are strictly by appointment only via Harper & Stone.
