Description

IMPRESSIVE HISTORIC B LISTED BUILDING BUILT CIRCA 1836 CURRENTLY PRESENTED TO THE MARKET WITH PLANNING PERMISSION FOR 17 APARTMENTS, OFFERING AN IDEAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY WITH EASY LINKS TO EDINBURGH, STIRLING AND FALKIRK

For sale is the former William Simpson’s Care Home with planning permission for conversion into 17 new flats consisting of 5 x 2 bed, 11 x 1 bed and 1 studio. The conservation strategy is to repair and maintain as much of the original building fabric as possible, whilst providing homes that are up to modern day standards .

The site is accessed from the A9 to the south of Plean, sharing a private road with the relocated William Simpson Home and the nearby Governor’s House.

A previous planning permission for 14 flats was granted in 2019, and a more recent application in late 2023 sought to increase this to 17 flats, citing improved layout efficiency and commercial viability.

The historic B-listed building is in fairly poor condition and in a partially derelict state. The current owners have started the landscaping work to ensure that the current planning permission remains in place and have completed a partial strip out to remove building material that was beyond repair, and carry out urgent work to address issues such as leaks in the roof, dry rot and unstable internal fabric.

The village of Plean offers a range of local shops and amenities meeting day-to-day needs, providing convenience and a sense of community. Located on the main bus route between Stirling and Falkirk, both of which offer a more extensive range of shopping, business and leisure amenities. For those who enjoy outdoor pursuits, there is ample opportunity nearby for walking, cycling or horse riding. For those who have to travel for business, there are excellent connections to all major towns in Scotland. The motorway network is close by, giving ease of access to Glasgow and Edinburgh, with the nearby railway station in Larbert providing regular services to Glasgow, Edinburgh and the North.

There is a primary school within the village, with secondary schooling in Bannockburn and Stirling. The area also benefits from its proximity to Stirling University, many of whose sporting facilities are available to the public. Nearby Plean Country Park has over 70 hectares of woodland and parkland, with a network of paths for walking, cycling or horse riding.
