Description
Macplants plant nursery extends to an area comprising 0.86 hectares (2.12 acres) in total, forming an area roughly rectangular in shape and relatively level in gradient for the plant beds and structures provided for plant cultivation, propagation and storage. Macplants has been held within the same family ownership since 1979 and has established a national client base with a diverse range of trade clients within the landscape, garden design and garden centre sectors and are proud to serve a particularly prestigious clientele including Balmoral Castle, Historic Scotland, Holyrood Palace, The Royal Horticultural Society and The National Trust for Scotland. The family are now retirement planning, providing an opportunity for a new operator to acquire the business and either continue the operation of the site independently or incorporate it into an existing business.
Location
Macplants Berrybank Nursery is situated approximately 2.5 miles south of the main A1 trunk road, approximately 16 miles southeast of the vibrant city of Edinburgh and 6 miles south of the coast at Longniddry, with views of the Lammermuir Hills distant in the south. The property is ideally located being close to both the A1 and A68, both providing excellent transport access to the wider road network.
The property is situated within Boggs Holdings, a desirable community of private dwellings and smallholdings located on the outskirts of the small rural conservation village of Pencaitland. The village provides local shops, a garage, pub and restaurant, church and a primary school.
The county town of Haddington is situated approximately 6.5 miles distant to the northeast, providing a larger range of shops, leisure and recreational facilities, banks, primary and secondary schools.
The property enjoys a peaceful rural setting, yet is only approximately 10 minutes by car to the City Bypass providing ease of access for the delivery of plants and visiting retail customers.
Direct access to the property is provided off the B6363 into a splayed entranceway laid to tarmacadam and a hardcore driveway.
The property is bounded in the main by hedgerows and trees and by the B6363 road to the east.

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
