The subjects occupy an attractive position extending in total to approximately 1.12 Acres (0.45 Ha), set amongst mature woodland in the hamlet of Carberry. The buildings on site were formerly used as the saw mill and laundry for Elphinstone Estate and more recently Carberry Candle Works utilised the traditional buildings. There are also two buildings constructed in the 1970’s located on the south eastern part of the site that were used as part of the candle works operation. In addition, there is a traditional one and a half storey stone built cottage under a pitched slate roof on the western part of the site. All of the buildings noted above have been in constant use and are generally in good condition. There is a formal lease in place with a local butcher for part the buildings due to expire August 2010. The chimney stack will not be incorporated into the proposed development and its removal will be the responsibility of the purchaser.
An application for detailed planning consent has been approved by East Lothian Council for the conversion of the existing factory buildings to form 7 houses and 2 flats.
