Plot A The Beeches, Leadburn, EH46

Land size
1 acres

Description

McEwan Fraser Legal is delighted to present an exceptional opportunity to acquire a substantial building plot extending to approximately one acre, with full planning permission for an impressive four-bedroom detached family home. Set amid attractive open countryside, with far-reaching rural views and generous grounds, this is a wonderful opportunity for families seeking the space, freedom, and quality of life country living can provide. Of particular interest is the potential to acquire additional land by separate negotiation, offering the opportunity to create an equestrian facility or keep other livestock, further enhancing the appeal of this attractive rural setting. With ample room for children to play, extensive gardens, and the chance to embrace a more outdoor-focused lifestyle, these plots offer the opportunity to create a superb family home in a peaceful rural setting.

Two adjacent plots are available, each with a desirable north-south aspect and full planning permission for a substantial detached home. Both proposed properties are designed with modern family living in mind, offering generous accommodation, excellent flexibility, and the opportunity to create a home tailored to the needs of its new owners.

Plot A extends to approximately one acre and benefits from full planning permission for an impressive four-bedroom detached house of approximately 250 square metres, together with a detached double garage. The proposed single-storey design offers particularly generous accommodation, making it an appealing option for families seeking the convenience and flexibility of living on one level. The substantial footprint provides ample scope for spacious living and entertaining areas, while the surrounding grounds offer an excellent environment for children, pets and outdoor family life.

Plot B extends to approximately one acre and benefits from full planning permission for a substantial five-bedroom detached house of approximately 258 square metres, incorporating an integral double garage. Arranged over two levels, the proposed accommodation offers the space and versatility that growing families increasingly seek, with the opportunity to create generous living areas, comfortable bedrooms and dedicated spaces for working from home or family activities.

The generous size of each plot is particularly attractive, offering space and privacy that can be difficult to find in more conventional residential developments. There is ample potential to establish extensive landscaped gardens, outdoor entertaining areas, vegetable gardens, or play areas, creating a wonderful environment where children can grow up enjoying the freedom of the countryside.

The potential availability of additional land, subject to separate negotiation, adds another dimension to this opportunity. For those with equestrian interests, aspirations to keep livestock, or simply a desire for a more self-sufficient lifestyle, the possibility of securing further land offers considerable flexibility. It is an increasingly rare opportunity to combine a substantial modern family home with the space to pursue outdoor interests and enjoy the benefits of rural living.

With open countryside views, generous individual plots and full planning permission already secured, this is a rare opportunity to create a substantial family home in a beautiful rural setting. Whether you want a spacious single-storey property or a traditional two-storey family home, each plot offers an appealing mix of space, flexibility, and the potential to enjoy a wonderful countryside lifestyle for years to come.

Full details of the planning permissions and proposed house designs are available on request.
