Full details can be viewed on the planning portal of Dumfries & Galloway Council ref number: 23/0608/FUL
Both plots are in a prime location on the exclusive Barhill Road as it begins to stretch out into the countryside beyond. Established properties neighbour the plots, but are spaced for privacy, and all-in-all this is a quiet and peaceful residential area.
SERVICES
The plots are currently un-serviced. It will be up to the buyer(s) to connect to the desired services. Most services should be available nearby given the established residential nature of the location.
FLOOD RISK
There is a risk of flooding to the very edge of the southern boundary of Plot 2 from the Barr Burn and Mill Lade, but this mainly affects the properties to the south of the plots.
Flood maps of the area can be viewed at
ACCESS/ SERVITUDES ETC
There used to be overhead power cables crossing the plot via a pole which had to be moved to facilitate any building works/plans. This has been moved at the current owners’ expense and the power cables now run underground.
There is a pedestrian right of access to and from Plot 2 at the southern boundary over the neighbouring property, but this has not been used in some time.
