Description

General Comments The total site which extends to 0.74 hectares (1.82 acres or thereby) forms part of Morrison's Academy. The area has been declared surplus to requirements.

There are a variety of buildings presently on site, including Knockearn which comprises a detached two storey former boarding house of traditional stone and slate construction. It is understood from Perth and Kinross Planning Department that they would expect to see the retention of this building in any development proposals.
The site is irregular in shape with the north section being relatively flat and the section to the south gently sloping to Ferntower Road. The site features various mature trees and these together with the position within an established residential area provides a particularly attractive setting for residential redevelopment.
The premises are available as a whole or as individual plots.
The premises were originally a private house with spacious ground prior to being developed as the Ewanfield Campus of Morrison's Academy, Crieff. The premises have now been declared surplus to requirements to allow the Academy to consolidate and improve facilities on the main campus. The site is now ripe for redevelopment for residential use with the only building requiring retention being the attractive original stone villa.
The agents understand that mains electricity, drainage and water are available to the site. No major abnormal site servicing costs are therefore anticipated, although the agents can give no assurances in this regard.
