The Heugh Water Tank, The Heugh, North Berwick, East Lothian, EH39 5NP

Presenting a distinctive opportunity to transform a piece of North Berwick’s architectural history, this former water reservoir stands on an elevated half-acre site, providing panoramic views across the town, coastline, and surrounding natural beauty. The property comes with approved planning permission for a sophisticated six-bedroom residence designed by an architect. This innovative proposal features three reception rooms on the ground floor, each thoughtfully oriented to open directly into the garden via French doors, while the upper floor accommodates the bedrooms. With an emphasis on privacy and integration with the landscape, there is also provision for a double garage and ample parking space within the plans. The existing structure consists of a substantial brick and concrete circular tank topped with a distinctive twelve-sided pitched roof, which has received B-list status due to its historical and architectural merit. Enclosed by secure fencing and featuring gated access, this unique site offers impressive vistas that include Bass Rock, North Berwick Law, and Tantallon Castle. Although the site currently lacks services, quotations for connecting water, drainage, and electricity are available from the vendor. This project presents not only a renovation challenge but also an investment in a rare piece of heritage.
