Lot 3 at Kirkbank Wood offers a substantial estate-scale woodland holding in Midlothian, presented as part of a strategic land portfolio. The site is part of a mature mixed woodland (Kirkbank Wood) extending through Newbattle, with traditional stone boundaries, core-path access and strong conservation value — appealing for amenity, timber or low-intensity agricultural uses.
This parcel will be sold at auction with a closing date, so purchasers should be prepared for a time-sensitive bidding process. Key practical positives include excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, good vehicular access from the A7 and B703, and a very large plot size providing long-term flexibility. The woodland setting gives seclusion and rural character while remaining accessible to local amenities such as a station, bus stops and recreational facilities.
Material limitations are significant and stated plainly. Tenure and services are unknown; there is no internal accommodation and no detailed planning information provided. The site lies within an area described as ‘very deprived’ locally, which may affect certain funding or grant options. Any redevelopment or change of use will require planning consent and due diligence on rights of way, environmental designations and woodland protections.
This lot suits strategic buyers: investors seeking a long-term holding, woodland managers, conservation purchasers or developers able to navigate planning. Interested parties should obtain their own legal, arboricultural and planning advice and review title, access and any restrictions before bidding at auction.
