A generous 0.22-acre plot with Planning Permission in Principle (Ref: 25/00164/PPP) offers a clear route to build a single dwelling in a semi-rural elevated position above Gattonside. The developer contribution has been paid, reducing a common upfront cost for a purchaser looking to progress a build.
The site sits close to Melrose, Tweedbank railway terminus and the A68, making it attractive for buyers needing commuter access to Edinburgh or Newcastle while enjoying countryside views. Strong local school catchment and excellent mobile and broadband connectivity add practical appeal.
Key practical caveats are straightforward: the permission is in principle rather than a full building warrant, and services, exact plot dimensions and internal layout are not provided. Access is via a farm track and the local area is classified as very deprived, factors a buyer should investigate. Prospective purchasers should commission detailed surveys, site investigations and confirm utility connections before exchange.
