Scottish Borders Development Opportunity
Set amidst the beautiful countryside of Houndwood in the Scottish Borders, this intriguing development opportunity offers outstanding potential.
Extending to approximately 400 sq. metres, the site enjoys a tranquil setting surrounded by rolling farmland, mature woodland, and open countryside, providing an idyllic backdrop for a future project.
The plot currently comprises a largely overgrown site with a derelict single-storey dwelling positioned to the rear of the site, together with two static caravans. The property presents a blank canvas for those seeking a renovation, replacement dwelling, holiday accommodation venture, or alternative development opportunity, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents and approvals.
Whether you're a developer, investor, self-builder, or someone dreaming of creating a countryside retreat, this is one not to be missed.
The village of Houndwood is in the Scottish Borders, ideally positioned between Eyemouth and Reston and enjoying a peaceful countryside setting close to the Berwickshire coastline.
Surrounded by rolling farmland, mature woodland and open countryside, the area offers an attractive natural environment with excellent opportunities for walking, cycling and outdoor pursuits.
Everyday amenities are available in nearby Reston, while the fishing town of Eyemouth offers a wider range of shops, supermarkets, schooling, healthcare facilities, cafés and leisure amenities. More extensive services can be found in Berwick-upon-Tweed, approximately 13 miles to the south.
The nearby A1 provides direct access to Edinburgh, Newcastle and the wider road network, while Reston and Berwick-upon-Tweed railway stations offer regular services on the East Coast Main Line, connecting to Edinburgh, Newcastle and London.
