Land

The Site

This superb development opportunity is located in glorious Scottish Borders countryside in a desirable and convenient location just south of Jedburgh. The site extends in all to 33.24 acres.

The site has previously had approved planning permission in place for the construction of a new detached two storey dwelling with parking (Scottish Borders Council planning ref: 12/00461/FUL). The planning permission has now lapsed and interested parties may wish to apply to reinstate the plans or develop alternative plans.

There is currently a cluster of stone built farm buildings which were to form the basis of the proposed new development. In addition there is around 33 acres of land available, with the proposed building plot occupying the south east corner of the site. The land sweeps away to the north and west before sloping gently down towards Jed Water and the property has fishing rights for the river. Mature trees surround the land to three sides.

Agents Note
