This property presents a promising infill plot located within the Gavinton Conservation Area, encompassing approximately 300 square meters (0.07 acres). The approved design for a four-bedroom detached house is thoughtfully crafted to blend harmoniously with the surrounding architecture, many of which are listed properties. Full Planning Permission has been granted, and detailed information can be accessed through the Scottish Borders Council's Planning Portal (Planning Reference Number 23/01767/FUL).
Nestled in the quaint village of Gavinton, this site is just over two miles from the town of Duns, known for its tranquil environment and picturesque landscapes. Duns offers a variety of amenities including shops, restaurants, and recreational facilities such as golf courses, swimming pools, and local sports clubs. The property benefits from its strategic location on the A6105 corridor that connects Berwick upon Tweed to the east and Galashiels to the west. Both towns provide convenient rail access to Edinburgh via Berwick’s main East Coast Line, along with a reliable bus service to various local destinations.
The proposed layout suggests positioning the new home at the front of the plot, allowing for a private garden area at the back and an access path along one side. This design takes advantage of both space and privacy while enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of the area.
Utility services are believed to be readily available nearby on Main Street Gavinton, making this an appealing opportunity for renovation or investment in a growing community. With thoughtful planning and development, this site has significant potential for creating a desirable residence that complements its historical surroundings.
