Description

A premier building plot in a stunning rural setting with breath taking views and within only a few miles of Kelso

Located only a few miles from Kelso, this premium building plot offers an exciting opportunity for those looking to complete a self-build amidst some breath- taking countryside. Extending to around 0.4 acre, the site is larger than the average building plot and benefits from outline planning consent for one dwelling which would benefit from sizeable surrounding gardens and super outlooks. The current outline planning permission allows the purchaser the freedom to design their own build to suit their own needs and specifications.

Hardacres comprises a working farm plus a small number of high end properties which have been formed by the conversion of a former stone steading making this an exclusive collection of dwellings in a desirable yet highly accessible rural setting – a winning combination and perfect for those looking to create a home in the country whilst remaining well connected to local towns and amenities.

Location - Kelso, which lies at the meeting point of the Tweed and Teviot rivers, is one of the most attractive and unspoiled towns in the Borders. Notable features are the 12th Century Abbey, the Flemish style cobbled square, Floors Castle and the old bridge across the Tweed. The town has good educational and sporting facilities and many quality shops. The area has much to offer those interested in country pursuits with fishing on the Tweed and is an increasingly sought after location within the Borders.
