DESCRIPTION:  We are delighted to bring to the market Bank Barn which is an exciting development opportunity for a prospective purchaser.  Nestled in the stunning Borders Countryside a short drive to the Scottish Border, this stone built barn is ripe for conversion and a full planning application is currently being lodged with Scottish Borders Council for consideration.  Drawings are available from Geo and Jas Oliver upon request.  The planning application outlines the proposed conversion/extension of the barn in to a detached four bedroom dwelling house with spacious open plan lounge, dining and kitchen space.

Overall, the property sits in a plot totalling around an acre and, subject to the submitted plans, will have garden grounds and allocated parking/turning area and also a designated car port beneath.

LOCATION: Bank Barn lies on the edge of Kirndean farm land and is set in stunning Borders countryside.  A short drive away is the village of Newcastleton and the larger towns of Hawick and Jedburgh are both slightly further afield for a wider range of shopping and recreational facilities.   Newcastleton enjoys an active community life and offers a very good range of recreational amenities as well as several small shops and restaurants catering for everyday needs, (with Hawick, Jedburgh and Carlisle supplying a wider range, both within easy driving distance and served by a good local bus service).  The village also has a Post Office, excellent butchers, church and health centre in addition to hotels.  Copshaw Common Riding and the Newcastleton Music Festival are popular annual events, and there is an abundance of outdoor pursuits available including walking, fishing, golfing and mountain biking which are well served with the neighbouring Kielder Forest Park and the 7stanes trails. The nearby fascinating Hermitage Castle offers a superb attraction and the village Heritage Centre provides an insight into the local history of such a historic area. Newcastleton has an excellent primary school, with secondary education found in nearby Hawick or Langholm. The property is also within easy reach of the M6 and Carlisle to the South, with access there to the main line train network.

DIRECTIONS: From Hawick take the B6399 signposted for Newcastleton and follow this road for around 20 miles passing Whitrope and Hermitage.  Just before Newcastleton take a left onto B6357.  A road on the right then leads up to Kirndean Farm.

SERVICES:  Services are readily available close by and the proposed development will connect to a private water supply and septic tank.
