Summary - ONE OAK RACHAN, BIGGAR, BROUGHTON ML12 6HQ
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Turn-key holiday chalet plus consent to build a family home on circa 2.2 acres.
Full planning permission for 4-bedroom two-storey chalet (04/02222/FUL)
This is a rare self-build opportunity: a circa 2.20-acre building plot with a newly constructed, high-spec three-bedroom holiday chalet and full planning permission for a two-storey four-bedroom dwelling (Application 04/02222/FUL). The chalet is turnkey and energy-efficient, with air-source heating, double glazing and a wood-burning stove. It sits centrally on a generous, well-mown plot with a long gravel driveway, ample parking and attractive rural and woodland views.
The planning consent was originally granted in 2004 and works commenced in 2010; the local authority confirmed in 2010 that the consent will not time-expire. The approved chalet villa provides around 170 sq m (circa 1,830 sq ft) of living space, making this site suitable for someone wanting to build a substantial family home. Mains water, electricity and telecoms are available on site, and there is a steel portal-framed outbuilding with power and lighting, plus a static caravan connected to services for on-site accommodation during construction.
The holiday chalet is finished to a high standard and is positioned to generate income from visitors to the popular Tweed Valley and nearby outdoor attractions. Important legal limitation: the chalet has planning permission only for holiday use and cannot be converted to permanent residential use. Broadband speeds at the site are slow despite excellent mobile signal; buyers should factor this in if working from home is required.
Set on the southern edge of Broughton, the plot is within reach of local amenities, schools, Stobo Castle Spa and the Tweed River Trail, with Edinburgh about 30 miles away. The property suits a buyer seeking a large rural plot for self-build combined with immediate holiday-let income, or an investor looking to exploit tourist demand. Note the local area classification indicates remoter communities and the broader area records higher deprivation levels; prospective buyers should satisfy themselves on local services and planning requirements before purchase.
