The subjects comprise a former Territorial Army centre which has been significantly adapted and developed over the past 10 years or so to provide an educational facility.
The principal building on site is part single and part two storey in height of brick construction, partly rendered externally being contained under a variety of pitched and flat roofs.
To the rear of the subjects the property provides two lightweight Medway buildings, one of which has been externally clad. The subjects are fully enclosed by a range of security fencing with gravelled parking fronting the main building while a surfaced playground lies to the rear.
Internally the subjects are presently arranged in accordance with the current use as a school providing a variety of classrooms/teaching areas, a central atrium/reception, gym/hall and various office, staff and support sections.
The School was renamed from Oakwood School fairly recently.
Location
The subjects are located within Laurieston’s Bog Road industrial area lying on the western side of the estate’s main access roadway enjoying an elevated outlook over the B805 and A9 in close proximity to Junction 5 of the M9 motorway.
The estate itself lies on the western outskirts of Laurieston and benefits from excellent road communication links given its position adjacent to the A803 and A9 trunk road routes which provide direct access to the M9 motorway which is situated
1.5 miles to the east.
Bog Road provides a variety of commercial accommodation for various occupier including Central Scotland Joinery, Bryson Enterprises and IGS Ltd. The area is also subject to proposed
development plans for the construction of Caledon Business Park which gained planning in principle in April 2010.
Laurieston itself represents an established, predominantly residential village within the Central Belt which lies on the eastern outskirts of Falkirk and in close proximity to Callander Business Park. The village provides appropriate local retail and
commercial facilities and benefits from extremely convenient access to the M9 motorway.
