Sharplaw Development Site is a flexible rural opportunity extending to approximately 18 acres, offered as a whole or in three separate lots. Planning consent (Scottish Borders Council ref: 23/00433/FUL) covers a new-build detached house plot with adjacent barn conversion and a single-storey conversion for a separate dwelling — providing immediate development potential for a range of buyers.
Lot 1 includes a sizeable house plot with consent for a multi-bedroom family home, private garden and parking for four cars; the adjacent barn is included for conversion or ancillary use and is proposed to host solar panels. Lot 3 is a consented single-storey conversion with its own garden and parking, suitable as a permanent home, holiday let or rental. Lot 2 comprises approximately 16–18 acres of grazing land ideal for agricultural, equestrian or amenity uses, with potential to augment a residential holding subject to consents.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, excellent mobile signal and no flood risk. Important practical considerations: broadband speeds are very slow, services connections are unconfirmed and purchasers should obtain independent advice on service provision and costs. The site sits in a remote/agricultural classification and the immediate area is recorded as very deprived — factors that may affect resale market, service access and funding.
This opportunity suits developers, investors or self-builders looking for a countryside development with planning in place and versatile land use. It is close to Jedburgh and A68 links for regional access while retaining open rural outlooks — a balance of seclusion and accessibility for the right buyer.
