Detached house for sale

Tenure: Freehold

History of Ewanfield:
Ewanfield was originally the site of two grand houses set in extensive grounds prior to being developed as part of the campus of Morrison’s Academy. The two houses were developed as boarding houses and offices for the school and
therefore require total refurbishment to be brought back into private use. The former gardens of the two houses have been partially developed with modern building which will be
demolished to make way for the four house plots.

Planning:
Informal discussions with the local planning authority indicate support for the return of the two stone houses to residential use. A planning application (ref: 10/01555/FUL) has been granted by Perth & Kinross Council for the demolition of the redundant modern school buildings and the erection of four detached
houses and garages. The permission is subject to a section 75 agreement which the sellers are in the process of completing. This application can be viewed on the Perth and Kinross website. If the property is sold in individual lots then the sellers will be responsible for the demolition of the existing buildings. If the site is sold as a whole, the sellers are prepared to consider offers that include the existing buildings.

Lot 1: Dalmhor House
Dalmhor House lies at the north of the site and is set in 0.82 acres of gardens and grounds. The house, which was last used as a boarding house for Morrison’s Academy, is a classic
stone and slate building onto which later additions have been added to cater for the school requirements. As a result, the accommodation extends to over 8,000 square feet.

Dalmhor has large public rooms and bedrooms, and the layout can be seen on the attached floor plans. There is a wealth of period features in the house including intricate cornicing,
stained glass windows, bay windows, fireplaces and carved woodwork.

The house could be developed into a stunning private residence, divided into more than one residence or developed for a commercial use such as a guest house.
