The subjects comprise a substantial detached former dwelling house which has been historically utilised as office accommodation prior to its development into a children’s nursery which was previously registered for 69 children.
The building itself is largely of stone construction contained under pitched and slatted roofs, the premises having undergone an extensive refurbishment programme due to fire damage.
Internally the subjects retain much of their original residential character including a range of attractive period features while externally the subjects enjoy an extensive garden and amenity grounds the plot extending to approximately 1.4 acres.
HISTORY - Built between 1895 and 1897 as the Carron Company’s manager’s house and given the name, Carron Grange, by the then General Manager.
Carron Grange was sold to Central Regional Council in the late 1970s for use as a Teacher Training centre. The house and estate were later bought by developers (Carronvale Homes) in the early 1990s and subsequently by the current owners The Scottish Building Federation, who used it as their headquarters. During 2009-2020 the property was leased as a kindergarten with the building being returned to use as the Head Office for the Scottish Building Federation in 2020.
In 2012 the Building was seriously damaged by fire which was restored at a cost of approximately £XXXm
Location
The subjects occupy a generous plot lying on the northern side of Carrongrange Avenue, to the west of its junction with Carrongrange Gardens, situated to the south east of Stenhousemuir’s principal town centre.
The surrounding area is largely residential in character given over predominately to modern private housing while Larbert High School lies to the north.
Stenhousemuir itself comprises an established town within central Scotland lying approximately 2 miles to the north of Falkirk, astride the B905 road route. The town’s position ensures that Stenhousemuir benefits from excellent communication links with junction 2 of the M876 bounding to the town to the north. In addition Stenhousemuir affords easy access to Larbert’s station which provides a direct link to Edinburgh, Glasgow and the north, with the town therefore having become a popular commuter location given its ease of accessibility to the central belt.
