Existing house to be demolished and replaced with a new home in Kilmelford

ImpactAutomated estimate

Summary

The owner wants to knock down the existing house at Ardbeith and build a completely new one in its place. This means the current building would be fully removed before construction of the replacement begins. The site sits in a rural area near Kilmelford, a few minutes' walk from the Eas an Sgriodain river. The land around is mostly open, with one neighbouring property directly to the north with a clear view of the site. Demolition and full rebuilding is more disruptive than a simple extension. The work could involve heavy machinery, skips, and scaffolding over several months.
