This is a circa 0.78-acre freehold plot at Charlesfield with Outline Planning Permission in Principle (ref 21/00839/PPP) for a single detached dwelling. The site sits on the edge of a small industrial estate with vehicular access proposed from the north and easy road links to the A68, providing direct routes to Edinburgh and Newcastle. The location is convenient for St Boswells (1.3 miles), Melrose (8 miles) and Tweedbank rail link (7 miles).
The purchaser will need to submit a full planning application to Scottish Borders Council and pay developer contributions as required. Services are understood to be nearby but are not currently connected to the site — connecting utilities will be a cost and project consideration. The plot’s size and outline permission make it suitable for a bespoke family home or as a land investment for resale after full consent.
Practical positives include excellent mobile signal, fast broadband in the area, no flood risk, and good local schooling and amenities within short drives. Material considerations: the surrounding area is described as an ageing rural neighbourhood with a wider classification of rural white-collar workers and an area deprivation indicator noted as very deprived; buyers should factor this into marketability and valuation. The purchaser should also confirm all technical and access details with the planning authority and utility providers before purchase.
