SITUATION
Denovan Farm Steading enjoys a rural setting and is situated near the quiet village of Denovan. The site is 1.3 miles from the village of Dunipace which is where the local Primary School is located. The closest train station is only 3.1 miles away at Larbert. 

There are excellent local shops and restaurants in nearby villages, with larger supermarkets, leisure centres and excellent facilities in Falkirk (5 miles), Stirling (8 miles) and Cumbernauld (9 miles).

There is a mainline railway station in Larbert just 3 miles away with a regular service to Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Dunipace Primary School is 1.4 miles away and secondary schools are located in nearby Denny and Larbert.

For the more adventurous, there are excellent walking, cycling and horse riding routes through the nearby Plean Country Park just 2 miles away.

COST OF SELF BUILD
McCrae & McCrae Ltd can provide a list of builders (likely cost over £1400sqm) and can assist in providing finance.  Building a house is an ideal way of avoiding the 10% stamp duty over £325,000.

SERVICES & ROAD ACCESS
Mains electricity and mains water connection estimates have been applied for. A bellmouth and tarred driveway have been installed. A sewage treatment plant and reedbed soakaway has been installed with a capacity of 94 people.

PLANNING CONSENT
Ref F/2001/0578 given 9th August 2001 for conversion of four dwelling houses and erection of three newbuild houses. The three newbuild houses have been developed out and this triggered the consent for the four conversions. There is capacity in the sewage treatment plant for at least four more houses.

STONE AVAILABILITY
The sellers Mr & Mrs David Graham could supply stone from their quarry to face up the newbuild extension on Lot 1 and walls on Lots 5 to 9.

B LISTED
The house and steading is B Listed. This will allow you to claim back any VAT on materials etc. It is 17th + 18th century picturesque farmhouse & steading with the house being of 2 storeys and attics, 3 windows pattern with a spiral stair in a bowed section to the rear. Bronze age and early Christian cists were found.

The farm steading lies half a mile east of Dunipace and a mile north of Denny with the River Carron in between. It has a lovely rural outlook with lots of mature trees.
