plot for sale in Burnmouth
This sizeable development site sits on the edge of this established coastal village with excellent road links via the A1 as well as regular rail connections on the main East Coast Rail-line at nearby Berwick Upon Tweed. The initial site has potential to accommodate up to ten residential units and presents a rare opportunity for a developer within this sought after coastal area. Given the proximity of Edinburgh and the ease of travel south via the East Coast rail-line the finished units are bound to appeal to those seeking a lifestyle change and a quiet coastal village position whilst still retaining the option of being well connected to the city.

Burnmouth is the first settlement north of the Border on the rugged east coast with its steep cliffs, craggy cove and quaint little fishing harbour.

Edinburgh is within easy commuting distance with the recently upgraded A1 nearby and the main railway station at Berwick upon Tweed enabling easy access to Edinburgh or Newcastle in less than one hour.
