Summary - Lot 1 Land At Bowden, Bowden, Melrose, Scottish Borders, TD6 TD6 0ST
1 bed 1 bath Land
Strategic Borders parcel with woodland and environmental scheme potential.
Approximately 5.32 Ha (13.15 Acres) productive grazing land
Lot 1 at Bowden is a productive block of grazing ground extending to about 5.32 Ha (13.15 Acres), offering immediate agricultural use and clear scope for environmental or forestry planting subject to consents. The parcel is well fenced with water troughs, accessed from the B6398, and sits within attractive Borders countryside less than 5 miles from Melrose and Tweedbank rail links.
For investors or active farmers the site presents multiple value drivers: Grade 3.2 land classification suitable for grazing, registration for IACS, inclusion in a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone, and eligibility to participate in Natural Capital or woodland-creation schemes (consents required). The land’s location and scale also provide longer-term development potential, though any such option would require planning permission and statutory approvals.
Buyers should note material constraints plainly. The sale is subject to a 30% clawback on any uplift in value if non-agricultural planning permission is granted within 30 years, secured by standard security. Lot 1 is subject to a new servitude for a water pipe along the northern perimeter and is currently let on a seasonal basis until November 2025. Basic Payment Scheme payments for 2025 will be retained by the seller unless separately negotiated.
Practical details: mineral and timber rights owned by the seller are included where applicable, the land forms part of a National Scenic Area, mobile signal is excellent while broadband is average, and the purchaser will be obliged to take agreed ingoing valuations for crops and stores. This lot is aimed at buyers seeking productive pasture with environmental and strategic potential, who understand the planning and statutory constraints attached to rural land in the Borders.
