Description

Located just off Stirling Road and within easy walking distance of the centre of Blackford, Ashwood Stables presents a fantastic opportunity to develop a unique home in a popular village setting. Thought to date back around 200-300 years, the property currently consists of a two-storey semi-detached barn, alongside a garage and a shed, offering excellent scope for redevelopment.

Ashwood Stables is attached to the neighbouring Ashwood Cottage, and enjoys a tucked away position with quick access to local amenities and commuter links. The main barn building measures approximately 9.40 metres by 4.8 metres, providing a solid footprint for a potential conversion project. A garage (4.5m x 2.5m) and a shed (4.1m x 2.2m) are also included within the site, allowing flexibility for parking, storage, or additional accommodation subject to the necessary consents.

Although no planning permission has yet been granted, indicative plans have been drawn up for a two bedroom semi-detached home featuring an open-plan living space with a garden room, two bedrooms, a small garden, and the option for a carport or garage. Services to support the redevelopment are located nearby, approximately 16 metres from the stables, making connection relatively straightforward.

The property offers a blank canvas for those with vision and imagination. With its historic structure and prime location close to the heart of the village, Ashwood Stables could be transformed into a highly desirable home combining traditional character with modern design.

Whether you are an experienced developer or someone looking for a rewarding project, Ashwood Stables offers an exciting opportunity to create a bespoke home in a sought-after location.

Please note that no planning permission is currently in place, and prospective buyers should satisfy themselves with regards to planning and all necessary consents.
