This generous 1.24-acre plot at Charlesfield offers a rare development opportunity in the Scottish Borders with outline planning permission in principle for two detached dwellings (refs 21/00839/PPP and 21/00840/PPP). Located close to the A68 and within easy reach of St Boswells, Melrose and Tweedbank station, the site combines rural privacy with commuter links to Edinburgh and the north of England. Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband nearby support modern living or holiday-let use.
The purchaser will need to submit detailed plans to Scottish Borders Council; services are understood to be nearby but are not currently connected. Vehicular access is proposed from the north onto the public road. Note that developer contributions remain payable, and these, together with service connections and full planning submission costs, should be factored into budgets.
This plot suits a developer, builder or self-builder who wants to create two bespoke homes set in the Borders countryside. The land’s size and setting allow for substantial gardens and landscaping, while proximity to local amenities, schools and rail links add practical appeal. The site lies on the edge of a small industrial estate and the wider area is classified as an ageing rural neighbourhood with higher local deprivation, which may influence resale values and marketing strategy.
