Buildings At Block E & Land Site At Hayford Mills, Stirling, FK7 9PN

The village of Cambusbarron is located on the western edge of Stirling, arguably owes its existence to the spinning and weaving industry. Established in 1833, Hayford Mills comprised several buildings, the main and most impressive of which was constructed circa 1860. This imposing 4 storey building is category A listed and recorded by Historic Scotland as ‚úone of the largest and most complete of Scotland‚s vertically integrated woollen mills‚ù. Externally, the red and cream brickwork on the main building and several other facades is particularly of note. Block E was originally built as a boiler house, latterly converted to a loading bay, on the end of the largest of the mill buildings, with an adjoining taller engine house on the corner of the mill building. In recent times, the surrounding sites have been largely developed for residential use, with the historic mill blocks converted and a number of new build terraced homes erected. The subjects of sale include a dilapidated unroofed listed building and surrounding lands and pathway that contain some low-lying vegetation. The site is protected by heras fencing though is clearly visible from both Woolcarders Court and Telka Wynd. Parking spaces to the west are included in the sale and the current bin stores on Telka Wynd will be required to be repositioned to allow vehicular access. Pedestrian access is also from the south east (pathway from Paterson Way) and north west (pathway by the substation). The most recent application, 21/00692/FUL granted full planning permission in 2021 for seven dwelling houses, with some conditions. The site is the last area of the Hayford Mills site to remain undeveloped, and as such presents a unique opportunity to finalise the redevelopment of Hayford Mills. Proposals retain the existing footprint and access arrangements around the application site are as approved in previously consented applications (18/00736/FUL & 18/00737/LBC). The proposed build materials and architectural language of the new build elements have been carefully chosen to provide a contemporary interpretation of the historic Hayford Mills vernacular and will both respect the industrial heritage of the original buildings, whilst matching that already approved for the new build to be built the south-east of the application site. Red and cream brickwork is proposed, with regular fenestration and traditional slate roofs laid in diminishing courses. A data pack which includes full details of the planning consent and drawings is available through the Selling Agents. Services are nearby. Purchasers will need to make their own enquires with service providers and will be responsible for connection costs.
