Lot 1 Sharplaw Road

A rare opportunity to acquire a diverse and flexible site with development potential and stunning rural outlooks, just moments from the popular town of Jedburgh. Offered for sale as a whole or in three individual lots, Sharplaw Development Site extends to approximately 13 acres and includes a house plot with full planning permission and a substantial barn, a consented conversion project, and productive land.

House Plot & Barn

Planning permission (Ref: 23/00433/FUL) has been granted for the construction of a substantial detached home, designed to make the most of the surrounding setting and modern family living. The proposed ground floor layout includes a sitting room, dining kitchen, orangery, utility room, office, WC, and a principal bedroom with en suite. Upstairs, a large landing with access to a balcony leads to four further double bedrooms, all with their own en suites. As part of the original design, the adjacent barn was intended to be converted for use as a workshop/ garage, or a stable block. The structure is also planned to be fitted with solar panels to improve energy efficiency. Outside, the property would benefit from a private garden, parking for up to four cars, and access via a shared driveway.

Land (Approx. 13 Acres)

Approximately 13 acres of grazing or amenity land, offering excellent potential for a range of uses including agricultural, equestrian, or leisure purposes. The land enjoys direct access from the shared driveway and lies in an attractive position with far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside. It may also be of interest to those looking to extend the grounds of a residential holding or develop a rural enterprise, subject to the necessary consents.
