Create a traditional detached home steps from beaches, walks and village amenities.
Planning permission in principle for a detached house (Ref: 25/0564/PIP)
Freehold village-centre plot with roadside access and off-street parking potential
Bounded by mature trees and Urr Water; offers privacy and possible rural/estuary views
Compact infill site — suitable for a single dwelling, not large-scale development
Site is overgrown in places; requires clearance and basic landscaping
Services appear available from roadside but not confirmed — buyer to verify
Average mobile and broadband speeds locally; no flood risk recorded
Local area classified as very deprived — potential impact on values and funding
This rare village-centre development site comes with planning permission in principle (PIP) for a detached dwelling, driveway and garden. Positioned on Main Street in Auchencairn, the parcel offers a semi-rural lifestyle with coastal walks, sandy beaches and estuary views within easy reach. The site is freehold and benefits from off-street parking potential and direct roadside access.
The plot is a compact infill between established buildings, level at the road and bounded to the rear by mature trees and the Urr Water. Existing boundary planting provides screening and a degree of privacy; the ground is largely grassed with self-seeded scrub and will need clearance and basic landscaping to maximise usable garden area. Detailed house design will be required as a future application following the PIP consent.
Practical considerations: services appear to be available from the road but have not been confirmed, and the final build will depend on satisfying detailed planning and service connection requirements. Broadband and mobile signals are average locally. The immediate area is classified as very deprived, which may affect resale values and grant/funding options.
For a buyer seeking a modest coastal village plot, this site offers the chance to create a traditionally-styled dwelling that complements Main Street. The setting suits someone prepared to manage the practical steps of progressing reserved matters, service enquiries and landscaping to realise the site's potential.
