Description

This sizeable development site is peacefully set within a quaint village location close to Kelso, offering an excellent opportunity for a developer to submit plans to suit their own build specification

Extending to approximately 1.1 acres, this sizeable development site presents an excellent opportunity for a developer looking to take on a project within a peaceful village setting, yet retaining easy links to nearby towns and villages; Kelso, Coldstream and Duns are all within a few miles of Eccles

Located within the local development plan for the village, there is no current planning consent on the site, allowing a developer the freedom to submit plans to suit their own specification. Previous full planning consent had been granted in 2007 for the build of five detached executive homes; as such it is presumed that the local authority would look favourably at a similar style of development or for the development to consist of a higher number of smaller units. Mains water, electricity and drainage are available nearby.

Location - Eccles is a small borders village approx six miles equi-distant from Kelso and Coldstream, with a church and village hall. The village is conveniently situated one mile from the A697 and within an hour of Edinburgh by car with the main east coast rail line at Berwick upon-Tweed, some 18 miles distant. The Border towns of Kelso, Coldstream and Duns are within easy reach where local facilities include primary & secondary schooling, local shopping, parks and various sporting opportunities including tennis courts, swimming pool, two 18-hole golf courses and the nearby Hirsel Estate.
