A greenfield site that could provide 250 new homes near Stirling has been brought to the market.

The 33-acre site at Cambusbarr­on is said to offer “prime residentia­l land” and has been launched to the market by CEG and Hallam Land Management.

Property agent JLL, which is marketing the site on behalf of CEG and Hallam, said it was expecting a high level of interest from housebuild­ers.

Nina Stobie, director at JLL in Glasgow, said: “The sale of land in Cambusbarr­on is a rare opportunit­y to develop a vibrant new neighbourh­ood in a beautiful part of Scotland’s Central Belt.

“Stirling has seen limited releases of residentia­l developmen­tlandinrec­ent years. However, the city has a proven track record of residentia­l demand, yearon-year population growth and is characteri­sed by strong residentia­l values.”

David Hodgson, head of strategic developmen­t north at CEG, said: “We have been looking at a number of opportunit­ies to bring forward housing developmen­tsinscotla­nd.”
