The former Eastern Primary School building was developed in 1911 for the Dundee School Board and forms a substantial stone/steel beam schoolhouse under a pitched and slated roof. The building is constructed on a site of approximately 0.46 hectares (1.14 acres) and consists of a Grade A Listed former school building, ancillary outbuildings and a former playground area laid to tarmac.
Location
Broughty Ferry is located approximately four miles to the east of Dundee city centre. The subjects are located immediately north of Monifieth Road, at the crossroads with St Vincent Street and Whinny Brae. The subjects are located within an area which is predominantly residential in nature however, is located a short distance away from the excellent local amenities including retail, leisure and public transport services on Monifieth Road and the railway station at Gray Street.
Accommodation
The main school building lies in close proximity to the western boundary of the site and is accessed off Whinny Brae. In addition, located in the northwest corner of the site, is an electricity sub-station and unlisted single garage. The sub-station is owned by Scottish & Southern Electricity (SSE) and does not form part of the sale of the subjects. Internally, the main school building is arranged over three main floors and extends to a Gross Internal Area of approximately 2,460 sq m (26,480 sq ft), including circulation corridors. The main building provides a double height classroom on either side of a wide central corridor arranged over three main floors (ground, second and fourth), with first and third floors comprising a corridor with accommodation at either end of the building. The buildings are Listed and nationally important for their construction, architectural appearance and, as such, it is anticipated that the original external appearance will remain largely unaltered through renovation and re-use. Adaption to the fabric of the building must be undertaken carefully and sensitively and have a minimum impact on the architectural setting of the building. The interior of the building is also Listed with elements to be maintained throughout any redevelopment of the subjects.
