Description

Nestled in a desirable rural area, this property offers a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in the Scottish Borders, situated conveniently between Kelso and St. Boswells. The charming village of St. Boswells lies just 6 miles to the west and features a vibrant community atmosphere along with essential amenities such as a reputable pub and restaurant. For more extensive shopping and recreational options, Kelso is only a short drive away and is renowned for its picturesque Market Square and historic abbey ruins. The town also hosts an array of social and sporting facilities, including golf courses, tennis courts, swimming pools, curling rinks, National Hunt racing, and excellent fishing spots. This property comprises two generously sized plots that present an outstanding chance to build your ideal detached home according to your specifications. Each plot offers ample space for gardens, garages, and parking while providing beautiful southern views across the surrounding farmland towards the Cheviot Hills—an appealing aspect for any prospective homeowner or investor. Both plots have received planning permission for the construction of individual dwellings, with required conditions that facilitate future development while ensuring compliance with local regulations. The vendor has agreed to install necessary access points within three months of sale completion, making it easier for buyers to envision their projects taking shape. Infrastructure considerations have been addressed as well; the vendor will facilitate access to essential services—including water, electricity, and sewage connections—within six months following the sale of the first plot. Buyers will be responsible for subsequent connections and maintenance costs. In addition to these practical benefits, potential investors should note that each purchaser will be liable for contributions toward local amenities in accordance with the Section 75 Agreement regarding affordable housing and education initiatives. With plots like these rarely available in such a sought-after location with renovation or building potential, this property invites you to explore its possibilities further. Please arrange viewings through formal appointments as Burnside operates as an active agricultural site. This investment not only positions you strategically between two beautiful towns but allows you to create your vision in one of Scotland's treasured regions.
