Self-build plot with hill views and planning consent near Kelso.
Outline planning for one dwelling (ref 16/00797/PPP) already granted
Developers contribution has been paid by the vendors
Plot size just under 0.25 acre with good garden potential
Open north-facing views to the Lammermuir Hills
Stone stable/garage on-plot; preferred to be retained (conversion potential)
Mains water and electricity nearby; drainage via shared private septic
Semi-rural, edge-of-farm location — occasional farm activity and noise
Remote location; satnav may misdirect and drive-by visits discouraged
Plot 4 at Hardacres Farm is a semi-rural, freehold building plot extending to just under 0.25 acre with outline planning permission for a single dwelling (Scottish Borders ref 16/00797/PPP). The site enjoys open, north-facing outlooks across farmland to the Lammermuir Hills and sits on the edge of a working farm within a small cluster of conversions and new builds — a rural setting with a sense of community.
Practical benefits include developers’ contribution already paid, mains water and electricity available nearby, and a stone-built stable/garage on the plot that planning prefers to retain. That outbuilding presents a realistic conversion opportunity for a garage, studio or home office as part of a self-build scheme. Drainage will be to a shared private septic tank and there may be the option to rent nearby grazing land.
Buyers should note the plot’s semi-remote location: drive-by visits are discouraged and satnav may direct to a neighbouring farm, so follow provided directions. Mobile signal is average and broadband is reported fast. The plot lies in an area classified as very deprived and is adjacent to an active farm, which brings occasional rural noise and activity.
For a self-builder wanting countryside views and a sizeable garden close to Kelso’s amenities, this plot offers genuine potential with key planning steps already taken. Full planning documentation is available via the Scottish Borders planning portal and interested parties should review the consent and site requirements before committing.
