This south-facing 0.38-acre plot at Mersington Mill offers a rare opportunity to build a contemporary three-bedroom home with a double garage in open Berwickshire countryside. Full planning permission (Ref. 06/01446/FUL) was granted in September 2006 and remains valid due to completed access works, removing the need for fresh consent before development proceeds.
The site includes an old mill footprint and sits down a quiet private lane with scenic views, nearby mains water, and electricity understood to be close to the boundary. The plot’s size and orientation suit a landscaping scheme, garden and parking, and the location links to Coldstream, Kelso and Berwick-upon-Tweed for everyday amenities and rail connections to Edinburgh and Newcastle.
Practical considerations are straightforward but material: drainage will require a buyer-installed septic tank, and the tenure is not specified here. The surrounding area is classified as remoter/agricultural and noted as very deprived, which may affect resale or rental demand relative to more populous locations. Access to services, schooling and transport is available but involves rural distances.
This site will suit a buyer seeking countryside privacy and scope to design a modern rural home or an investor who values a permitted development opportunity without developer contributions. Expect to factor in installation of foul drainage, likely costs to bring utilities fully on-site, and the implications of a secluded location when assessing value and build budgets.
