Description

Gin Head represents a unique development venture situated on a historical coastal site previously used as a World War II radar station. This expansive property, located just outside North Berwick, spans approximately 5.8 acres and is positioned to take full advantage of breathtaking views over the Firth of Forth and the iconic Bass Rock. The existing structures on the site include three main buildings and various ancillary facilities, all set against a backdrop that features Tantallon Castle and the stunning Lammermuir Hills. Recently renewed planning permission allows for significant alterations and extensions to these buildings, paving the way for the construction of seven bespoke residences, complete with garages and landscaped gardens. With additional possibilities for alternative uses subject to local council approval, this site presents an exceptional investment opportunity in a desirable area known for its natural beauty and recreational offerings. Located within close proximity to the amenities of North Berwick — which includes golf courses and unspoiled beaches — this property is ideal for those looking to create high-end residential properties in a thriving community recognized as one of the best places to live in the UK. The local infrastructure is well-developed, with efficient transport links to Edinburgh and nearby towns.
