FOR SALE BY ONLINE AUCTION THURSDAY 22ND FEBRUARY 2024 AT 9.00AM. Excellent opportunity to invest, develop and breathe new life into a building occupying a prominent corner site in the small hamlet of Largie. The site itself is estimated at 0.3 acres, with a gross internal area of 174.11sq.m. (1,874sq.ft.) approx.

The property offers a number of opportunities to potential investors: it could be turned into a residential home, a holiday home, or retained as a community space as a few examples of potential uses (subject to planning). Formerly a school then a community centre, the latter closed in 2017. A single storey, granite block construction makes up the main detached hall building, and there is a pitched and slated roof and suspended timber floor. Some walls have been dry-dash rendered/ harled while some areas of the roof have fallen into disrepair recently.

Inside, there is a large hall, an entrance hall, small meeting room, kitchen area and toilet facilities.

There is also a small, dilapidated outbuilding where the former playground sat, and this is made of granite block construction with a pitched and slated roof. There are mature beech trees along sections of the east and west boundaries.

It is understood that there is mains water and electricity with drainage to a septic tank, however interested parties should make their own enquiries about the detailed whereabouts, capacity and availability of services. Purchasers should satisfy themselves on building condition, reports, surveys, ground conditions and other environmental information.

Estimated sizes:
Gross Internal Area (G.I.A.): 174.11sq.m. (1,874sq.ft.) approx.
Site Area: 1,206sq.m. (0.3acres) approx.

Planning: The property last operated as a Community Centre. The existing building falls within Use Class 10 (non residential institutions) of the Schedule to The Town & Country Planning (Use Classes) (Scotland) Order 1997. It is considered feasible to convert the existing building into a single residential house, subject to planning. Alternatively, the building could be demolished, and a new single detached house built on the site, subject to planning approval being obtained. It is recommended that any potential use/ development proposals are discussed with Aberdeenshire Council Planning team at the earliest opportunity: E: [use Contact Agent Button]/ T:[use Contact Agent Button].

Location: The property is situated directly off Largie Road, in the hamlet of Largie, a rural, predominantly agricultural area in the heart of Garioch, approximately 5km (3 miles) North of Insch and 16km (10 miles) South of Huntly. The former Largie Schoolhouse adjoins the feu on the Southside. Extract plans are provided below showing the location and extent of the subjects.
