These prime building plots at Castle Hills Farm provide a rare opportunity for a purchaser to build a home in a fine location close to the vibrant town of Berwick upon Tweed. Castle Hills Farm is located at the top of one of the area's most popular and prestigious residential streets, Castle Terrace. The eight plots have outline planning permission Reference 17 / 03673 / OUT for the construction of one and a half storey three or four bedroom homes which will have gardens front and rear and views over the surrounding countryside. Six of these prime plots are to be built along the drive on the site of former agricultural buildings; the other two in the remains of the old walled Cattle Court.

Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
