Description

Fantastic rural building plots in a particularly picturesque location each with outline planning consent

Cranshaws is an active rural community in what is arguably one of the most picturesque landscapes that Berwickshire has to offer. Positioned within easy reach of Duns the location is a perfect fit for those seeking peace and tranquillity whilst remaining within reasonable reach of local amenities and only around 40 minutes of Edinburgh.

The building plots lie to the southern edge of the village close to the Parish Church and both sites command super views of the surrounding countryside.

Fairly equal in size, the plots extend to approximately 0.27 acre each and both benefit from outline planning permission for one dwelling per plot. This is a rare opportunity for those seeking to create a forever family home in the countryside whereby the developer can create a design and specification to suit their own style of living. The plot dimensions allow ample room for not only a sizeable property but good sized private gardens, ample private parking and a garage if desired.

Location - Cranshaws is a tranquil rural village set amongst farming country, approximately ten miles north of Duns. The village is located approximately ten miles from the border with East Lothian. For those who enjoy the outdoors, Cranshaws and the surrounding area is spoilt for choice in terms of outdoor/country pursuits, not least the 4km Community Woodland Walk which takes in the breath taking landscape surrounding the village and includes the community orchard which is located not far from the plots. Cranshaws and the surrounding villages and communities have benefitted from investment from two windfarms located further into the Lammermuir Hills with further information available at

Duns has good educational and recreational facilities including primary and secondary schools, swimming pool, tennis courts, 18 hole golf course, library, various speciality shops and walks and a nature reserve within the grounds of Duns Castle and is home to the classical Edwardian Mansion at Manderston
