Use Class: C3

Description

The site is located just off Muirhall road in Kinnoull Hill, Perth. Nestled on the slopes of the iconic Kinnoull Hill, the site enjoys one of Perth's most prestigious and picturesque settings. Overlooking the River Tay and surrounded by lush woodland, it offers a combination of natural beauty, and proximity to the city.

Just minutes from Perth's vibrant centre, residents can enjoy boutique shopping, fine dining, and cultural attractions, while still being immersed in tranquil countryside. The renowned Kinnoull Hill Woodland Park with its scenic walking trails, panoramic viewpoints, and wildlife lies right on the doorstep, offering an idyllic retreat for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.

With easy access to excellent local schools, golf courses, and transport links, including quick routes to Edinburgh, Dundee, and the Highlands, this location perfectly balances rural elegance with urban convenience.

Following a review by NHS Tayside, the remaining grounds Murray Royal Hospital have been declared surplus and are thus being offered for sale.

Pitcullen House is a B listed building within the grounds of the Murray Royal Hospital. The property has been vacant for a considerable period of time and has fallen into a state of disrepair. The B listing includes the gates and gate piers on the corner of Muirhall Road and Lochie Brae. Pitcullen House is located adjacent to The Walled Garden and Café and in close proximity to the new hospital facility. It is surrounded by a number of mature trees, with a large area of land to the rear comprising largely grassland (part maintained) and trees providing separation between the residential properties on Gannochy Road.

Access to Pitcullen House is achieved via the entrance gate at Muirhall Road/Lochie Brae. The existing access road passes the front of the property and is now used solely to provide access (vehicular and pedestrian) to the adjacent wall garden and café.

Within the adopted Local Development Plan, the entirety of the Murray Royal Hospital site is located within Perth's settlement boundary but is not subject to a specific designation.

The site is adjacent to the Kinnoull Conservation Area, which is situated immediately to the south west. Iceni Planning has undertaken Pre application investigations with Perth & Kinross Council. Any further enquiries should be direct to Callum Fraser, Director, Iceni Planning .
