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.

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.<br /><br />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.
