plot for sale in Newbridge

Large plot of land, which is mostly woodland in nature and extending to an area of around 2 acres. It has an existing stone built stable which has been converted into a garage on the site and a further store. Previously drawn plans are available for residential dwellings. It is thought that a more modest plan would also be feasible, particularly if changing the nature of the old stable building from and outbuilding to a residential dwelling.It would suit a variety of purchasers, particularly given the close proximity to Edinburgh and the scenic rural setting. The adjacent property has a mains gas connection and mains water, so a new connection should be possible. There is no mains drainage currently.
