Oakum Bay Road, Newmills, Dunfermline, KY12 8SS

Summary

The property comprises dilapidated buildings and an area of land, which extends to approximately 0.13 hectares (0.31 acres) in total. We understand that the subject is the site of a former dwelling and farm steading historically used for agricultural purposes. The buildings comprise a two-storey former dwelling and garage. The property appears to be of stone/brick construction, rendered externally. The roof is in a dilapidated condition. Whilst the site was historically serviced until the mid 1990‚s we are not aware of any current connections. Interested parties should make their own enquiries with reference to reinstating service connections. The buildings are now in a poor state of repair and an asbestos survey is available from the selling agents. We have measured the outline of the buildings on Promap and this extends to approximately 3,270 sq.ft at ground level. The eastern boundary is part stone wall. A low stone wall forms the western boundary of the site but is currently largely obscured by vegetation. We understand the garage was last used in the mid 1990‚s as a garage for commercial purposes. We note there is an entry on the Scottish Assessors Association website with reference 328086400. From review of the Local Development Plan, the south section of the site is designated as Protected Open Space. No site surveys or technical assessments have been provided. Purchasers enquiring on planning prospects should seek independent professional advice.
