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.
Fixed Price of £185,000
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.
Lot 1 is still on the open market at a fixed price of £185,000. Lot 2 sold for £130,000 (the proposed house size is tiny compared to Lot 2). Some of the land could be sold off separately for £15,000/acre.
In the photos 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.
