Exciting Opportunity to Build a Low-Energy Home with Breathtaking Views

A rare opportunity to create your own sustainable, low-energy home with panoramic views stretching across the surrounding landscape. This generous plot, situated on a private development accessed via Barbour Road, comes with full planning permission for a four-bedroom detached family home and separate garage.

The development site comprises a substantial rectangular area of land, gently sloping from north-east to south-west, offering ideal topography for a modern rural home. The location enjoys a peaceful, private setting with striking views toward the shoreline.

Submitted on 28 May 2024, the approved design reflects a traditional Scottish longhouse—a linear form deeply rooted in rural vernacular architecture. The proposed home blends a narrow footprint with open-plan modern interiors, optimising natural light and connection to the landscape.

• North-facing glazing captures the stunning views

• Render and timber cladding blend with the surroundings

• Natural slate roof and dark grey windows and doors provide a timeless, durable finish

The design is modest in scale yet rich in character, balancing the need for sustainable, efficient living with sensitivity to the local context.

• Low-carbon, energy-efficient construction

• Natural and locally appropriate materials

• Designed to meet high sustainability standards

• Upgraded private access with new bell mouth entrance

• Hardstanding for bins and recycling

• Visibility splays preserved in both directions

• Minimal yet effective landscaping ensures the home sits comfortably within its natural setting

This proposal delivers an ideal mix of contemporary comfort, traditional design, and environmental responsibility—an exceptional opportunity to build a future-ready home in a truly stunning rural location.
