A rural development opportunity offering development land within the commuter village of Dolphinton – 22 miles south of Edinburgh – has been brought to the market by DM Hall.
The site, at Carmaben Brae, is available for sale at offers over £650,000. Sitting adjacent to an exclusive and established residential area, it features open an open countryside surrounding.
Extending to approximately 2.60 hectares (6.44 acres), the land is located within the current village settlement line as defined in the South Lanarkshire Local Development Plan, highlighting its potential for future residential development, subject to obtaining the necessary consents.
Jennifer Campbell, of DM Hall, said, “Sites of this quality and location are becoming increasingly scarce, particularly in popular commuter villages such as Dolphinton. Its proximity to Edinburgh and Glasgow, combined with the attractive rural setting, makes this a highly desirable opportunity.
“Given its position within the settlement boundary and its adjacency to established residential development, we anticipate strong levels of interest. This is the type of site that is likely to attract competitive bids and proceed to a closing date.”
Dolphinton lies on the A702, approximately 22 miles south of Edinburgh, 31 miles east of Glasgow, and within easy reach of West Linton and Biggar.
DM Hall explained its strategic position makes the village particularly appealing to commuters seeking a rural lifestyle with direct access to Scotland’s central belt. The area enjoys attractive views toward the Pentland Hills and Tinto Hill and benefits from a strong sense of village character.
The land is currently laid to grass with mature trees along the northern and western boundaries. It is not identified as being at risk of flooding according to SEPA flood maps and is not affected by historic mining activity, making it a compelling and relatively unconstrained development proposition.
