Old Carraige House, Eyemouth, Houndwood, TD14

An exciting and rare development opportunity, White Lodge is a detached former carriage house set within a generous plot in a semi-rural location near Eyemouth. Offering significant potential for refurbishment or redevelopment (subject to necessary consents), this unique property is ideally suited for investors, developers, or buyers seeking a project.
The property currently comprises a compact two-room structure extending to approximately 36 sq. metres and is of traditional construction. Positioned close to the A1, the property benefits from convenient access to surrounding towns and transport links while enjoying a rural setting.

Development Potential
While the property has historically been considered for conversion into a one-bedroom dwelling, planning consent is understood not to have been granted. Interested parties are encouraged to make their own enquiries with the local authority regarding future development potential.
Due to its layout and location, alternative uses may be limited, although the property could be of particular interest to neighbouring owners or buyers seeking a bespoke renovation project.

Condition
The property is in a poor state of repair and requires complete renovation throughout. Key points include:

Internally and externally in poor condition
Requires full refurbishment prior to occupation
Grounds are heavily overgrown
Two static caravans currently on site
Services disconnected

The property sits within a good-sized plot accessed via a shared lane with neighbouring properties. The garden grounds require substantial clearance and landscaping.
