Location
Stenhousemuir is a town adjacent to the north side of the larger town of Falkirk. The subjects are within a popular residential area near the entrance to Larbert Cemetery. A wide range of facilities are available half a mile away on Main Street.
Accommodation
Planning - The purchaser will be required to create a high quality new vehicular access directly from Muirhead Road, and to create a new fence in front of the current drive way. It is envisaged that the surplus stone work and iron fencing that would be removed to create the new access be reused in front at the north end of the current drive way.
The completion of the sale will be subject to the purchaser gaining planning permission for the new access and fencing in particular which is also acceptable to Falkirk Council as the seller of the property.
Access & Maintenance - Access to the property through Falkirk Council’s private road running through the cemetery on the north side of the property will only continue for a short temporary period from the completion of the sale to allow the purchaser adequate time to complete the construction of the new access and new fence. Access along the cemetery access road will be kept clear at all times.
The purchaser will be responsible for the maintenance of boundary fences, hedges and so on with the exception of the north and top side of the boundary hedge which faces onto the cemetery running along the northern side, this will continue to be the responsibility of Falkirk Council. Maintenance of the properties garden ground should be carried out to a high standard to reflect the nature of the adjacent cemetery. Falkirk Council will reserve a right to carry out necessary maintenance work to external fences and recharge the owner the cost including associated cost of administrative time.
