This rare opportunity presents the chance to acquire two residential plots in a sought-after area, known for its picturesque views of the Cheviot Hills and surrounding farmland. Each plot offers ample space, allowing for the potential to construct a detached home tailored to personal specifications, along with room for gardens, garages, and parking facilities.
The available Plot 1 spans approximately 0.33 acres (1348 sq.m), providing a generous canvas on which to build. The property is situated in Burnside, an accessible rural locale conveniently positioned between Kelso and St. Boswells—two charming villages that enhance the appeal of this location. St. Boswells, just six miles west, features a welcoming community atmosphere with essential amenities including a well-regarded pub and restaurant. Kelso offers a broader selection of facilities and boasts notable landmarks such as its traditional Market Square and historical abbey ruins, making it one of the area's most attractive towns.
Planning permission has been secured for the construction of two dwellinghouses, with conditions that include adding a designated passing place per unit—a commitment that the vendor will fulfill within three months of each plot sale. This flexibility allows prospective buyers to engage in custom development while complying with local regulations (planning reference: 19/00036/PPP).
Future residents will benefit from essential services being made available at each site’s edge within six months of the first sale, although new owners will be responsible for their connection and maintenance thereafter. Additionally, there are terms outlined in a Section 75 Agreement regarding contributions towards affordable housing and education.
Given the popularity of this region within the Scottish Borders combined with its renovation potential, these plots represent not only an opportunity to build a dream home but also an investment in an area poised for growth. Local schools and recreational options further enhance lifestyle prospects here.
