Middlebank No. 4B Holding – Lot 11

This includes a brick built shed measuring 25.8m x 7.9m set in 0.742 of an acre most of which is down to concrete.

The shed is already served with mains water. Drainage will be to a septic tank and soakaway which will likely be located in the field to the south east. We have applied for an estimate for mains electric.

The seller has lodged a planning application in principle to Perth & Kinross Council to determine if they would look favourably for one of the two following options:

A new build detached house on the brownfield site.

A conversion house as per the plans annexed for two semi-detached houses each being 200sqm (see the three pages overleaf).

Ground Floor with the following accommodation: Entrance Hall, Lounge, Kitchen, Bathroom, Bedroom, Bedroom.

First Floor with the following accommodation: Landing, Bedroom, Bedroom, Bedroom, Bathroom

The decision to go for one or two above will depend on the response coming back from Perth & Kinross Council in respect of the pre planning application inquiry.

There is a servitude over the number 4 holding lands which include the cottage which lies to the north of the land for sale. The servitude is in favour of lot 11 in respect of the mains water and electricity supply which goes over the number 4 holding house lands which lie to the north.

The number 4A middle holding house has a right of way over lot 11 in order for them to access the green shed lying to the north of holding number 5 shed. This right of way is shaded in green on the next plan (page 8)



No.4B Middlebank Holdings

Lots 5,8,9 & 12 photographs were taken a while ago. The lands have been under offer but the sale fell through and they are already with no crop because it was thought that the purchaser was going to the crop them.

This lies adjacent and to the east of the red brick shed. It would be logical for the purchaser of the shed to purchase this lot.

The lands are excellent arable grade 3(i) as classified by the Macaulay Institute of Land Classification. It is flat and lies about 60 feet above sea level, it never floods. There is a strip of trees along the northern edge but almost all of it is arable.

Lot 5

This is two blocks of partly grade 2 and 3(i) arable land. It’s flat and well drained. It had potatoes in it two seasons ago. The westerly section is a narrow strip of land. There may be scope to secure consent under the homes in the countryside pushing for two or more log houses or houses to rent out. If the big house had B&B and the smaller house was rented out. Alternatively four houses with one being a manager’s house.

Lots 8 & 9

These two blocks lie to the west of the golf driving range. They are mainly 3(i) but about a quarter of them is grade 2. They slope gently to the south and are well drained and sheltered by poplar trees to east and west. They have an attractive outlook.

A road would have to be built a-b to service them if they were bought together or a-b-c if they were sold separately.

If Lots 8 & 9 are sold separately both purchasers would have to share the cost of the road from a-b and the purchaser from Lot 9 would pay for the cost of road between B & C. Main services would be installed under the solum of the road.

Example of a Log House which may secure planning consent within the open countryside setting

These are photographs of a Latvian log house which has been imported and built at Eastfield farm. This is two log houses. They were made in Latvia and shipped to Britain on lorries and reassembled in a week. The land for sale is zoned in the local plan as open countryside and as such would likely secure planning consent for a managers house which could be occupied on a full time basis but normally you would need to apply for three other log houses as well or maybe two log houses and some pods. It has to be a business and the planners would normally put a condition on the auxiliary house that they can’t be occupied by one family for more than 4 months in the year.

Roads Infrastructure

The plot is served by a private tarmacadam road which comes off the A92 dual carriageway (with de acceleration lane) and a tarmacadam road coming in from the south with a high quality tarmac bell mouth and 7 passing places along the public road because planning consent was given for a golf course and the sellers upgraded the south road to accommodate a golf course but never went ahead with the golf course.

Tree Planting

Trees were planted along the south west and northern boundaries of the farm. This has creased shelter and a feel of seclusion.
