Property description & features

A former farm steading and a stackyard comprising two former agricultural buildings, small storage sheds and Gunsgreenhill Old Windmill, the remains of a ‘category C’ listed late 18th century, former water pumping mill set on a site extending to approximately 1.27 ha (3.15 acre) to the eastern edge of Eyemouth. This is to include the woodland to the south and including the straightening of the north boundary as proposed by Scottish Borders Council.

The site is relatively level. Access is available via the private road via the A1107 leading to Eyemouth Golf Course.

The agricultural buildings are of steel portal framed construction. They are understood to date back to the 1970s as part of Gunsgreenhill.

PLANNING
The site is within the Development Boundary of the settlement as defined in the Local Development Plan 2016 and the emerging Local Development Plan 2020. It is adjacent to an area currently zoned for housing which is understood to be under Scottish Borders Council ownership.

The development would need to comply with the Council’s Local Development Plan Policy IS6, in terms of suitability of access and level of development (Appendix 3: Private Accesses).

The promoted path is to be retained. However, it may be possible to realign, subject to consultation with Scottish Borders Council.

AREAS
Gunsgreenhill Plot - 3.15 Acres or 1.27 Hectares 

The site has been measured from an OS based mapping system to an approximate area.

LOCATION
Eyemouth is a small fishing town on the southeast coast of Scotland. It is situated to the east of Berwickshire, approximately eight miles northwest of Berwick-Upon-Tweed, forty-nine miles to the east of Edinburgh. The settlement has a population of 3,520 according to the 2020 Mid-Year Estimate compiled by the National Records of Scotland. This Increase of around 1.45% over the population recorded at the 2001 Census (3,470). This is small decrease on the population recorded at the 2011 Census (3,550).

There are East Coast Mainline Railway Stations at Berwick-Upon-Tweed and Dunbar. The re-establishment of the station at the nearby town of Reston has ben completed and trains are operating from the station with trains to Edinburgh, Berwick and Newcastle.

Eyemouth and the surrounding area has benefitted from a significant amount of recent public and private sector investment to re-develop the town centre and the harbour area including the efforts of Eyemouth and East Berwickshire Partnership Regeneration. These works have modernised facilities for the local fishing industry and provided a boost to the areas tourism sector. In addition the town benefitted from a shop front improvement grant scheme in the autumn of 2019 and a grant of £100,000 to support the Eyemouth Harbour Trust Project to develop a new ice-making facility at the harbour to support local fishing fleets.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
