Building Plot Full Planning with Approx. 12.5 acres of ground (with smallholding status) and stables

This appealing building plot lies within a delightful location, quite literally on the boundary of the historic Borders town of Selkirk, swathed by beautiful scenic countryside and in comfortable reach of the High School as well as the town centre which is only around one mile away. There are numerous lovely walks to hand and the grounds take in a small burn adding to the charm.

The plot is sold with full planning consent for the erection of an L-Shaped accessible three-bedroom bungalow, with comfortably sized yet easily kept accommodation designed to create a pleasing flow with a modern feel; including a spacious open plan living/dining/kitchen featuring a vaulted ceiling and bifold doors and a principal bedroom which also has French Doors and includes an en-suite bathroom. The provision of a study is ideal for those who need to combine work and home life, whilst the gardens provide a blank canvas to create outdoors space as suits personal tastes and needs best.

This neat package could be of great appeal to those seeking an equestrian opportunity, with the plot extending to approximately 0.63 of an acre and the fields, which amount to around 12.5 acres and include stables and a hayshed, having a smallholding status. Please note that the picture of the fields is for indicative purposes only, and its precision or accuracy is not guaranteed.

This plot offers someone a fantastic opportunity to build a stunning country home in a wonderful location in the Central Scottish Borders, with Selkirk offering a good selection of facilities and easy access to the A7, which runs through the town and brings major routes and motorways such as the M6 into easy reach. Edinburgh and Newcastle are easily accessible via the A7 or A68, whilst train travel into Waverley Station is on hand from either Galashiels or Tweedbank, which offers free parking.

A wider selection of High Street stores and supermarkets are available in either Galashiels or Hawick. The region as a whole is renowned for its stunning scenery as well as its sense of history and community and is becoming increasingly sought after by those seeking a more peaceful lifestyle. There are numerous tourist attractions in the area, for example Bowhill House and Country Park, Abbotsford, Halliwell’s House, Haining House and St. Mary’s Loch.

Directions: It is not advisable to use the post code for Sat Nav if travelling south bound on the A7 until you are actually in the town of Selkirk, as using it on the approach from Galashiels will misdirect you. Once in the town, then the post code of TD7 4PU can be used and will take you close, but not exactly to, the plot.

Coming from the South on the A7, drive past the garage on the left as you start to approach the town. Follow this road along a few hundred metres and then turn right into High School Lane. Turn right into the road with no through traffic sign and follow it along and past the new builds on your right. You will then come to a small car parking area and it is advisable to leave the car there and walk along to the plot, which is around 300 meters or so distant and sits next to Buxton House.

Coming from the North stay on the A7 and carry on through the town centre until you come to High School Lane on your left, then follow the above directions.
