Rare near‑Edinburgh opportunity for a four‑bed detached build.
Circa 478sqm prime residential development plot
A substantial single plot of circa 478sqm with lapsed planning for a detached four-bedroom house, positioned around nine miles from Edinburgh. The site sits within an established residential area with good local amenities and strong mobile and broadband connectivity, supporting a straightforward development process once permissions are reinstated.
This lot is offered at timed online auction (30 October 2025) and presents clear upside: recent comparable sales and local market growth suggest a realistic completed development value in excess of £450,000. The seller/auction house considers the local authority likely to be receptive to resurrecting the previous permission, which shortens the route back to build consent compared with a cold application.
Buyers should note material considerations: the planning permission has lapsed and will require formal reinstatement or a fresh application; tenure is listed as unknown and must be checked; the site will be sold at auction with associated buyer's fees and auction terms. The wider area is classified as having pockets of deprivation, which may affect some aspects of future marketing or financing.
For an investor or small developer seeking a near-Edinburgh opportunity, this plot offers strong potential with work required on the planning and legal fronts. Early due diligence on title, services, and reinstatement prospects is recommended to quantify timeframes and costs before bidding.
