Plot 1, Former Alva House, Woodland Park, Alva FK12

Harper & Stone are welcoming to the market a development plot on the site of the Former Alva House at Woodland Park, Alva. The full development area measures to 0.55 acres (0.2236ha) including the access road to frontage) and has been granted permission in principle (PPP) for two dwellings. The land is therefore split into two plots, one for each dwelling, which are being sold individually. Both plots are fully serviced with mains gas, electricity, sewage and water supply on site. The planning application reference is 23/00240/PPP to view the planning documentation on the Clackmannanshire Council Planning Portal, which is also included in the listing. Additional planning has been obtained for 5 holiday cottages offering another option for the use of the land. The planning reference for this is 05/00174/FULL.

For those interested in the history of the plot, the site was the previous home to Alva House, an extensive 3-storey country house near ‘Silver Glen’. The original structure was built as a fortified tower circa 1350, followed by the house being built in 1636 for Sir John Erskine, a silver miner of the surrounding hills known to have mined the largest silver deposit in Great Britian. He used his fortune to finance the Jacobite Rebellion, and once he returned home, he built the house he always dreamed of. Unfortunately, without regular maintenance, over the years the property had deteriorated quite severely and has since been demolished during the Second World War.

Viewings are strictly by appointment only via Harper & Stone.
