Property Description
Hillview Road lies on the outskirts of the popular East Lothian village of Ormiston, approximately 2.3 miles south of Tranent, 6.7 miles southwest of Haddington and 10.5 miles south-east of Edinburgh city centre.
Ormiston offers a range of local amenities, whilst the nearby towns of Tranent and Haddington provide a wider range of shopping, schooling, recreational and professional facilities. The property is also conveniently placed for access to Edinburgh and the wider central belt, making the area a popular choice for those seeking a rural location whilst remaining within easy reach of the capital.
The surrounding East Lothian countryside is characterised by attractive rolling farmland and rural landscapes, providing a pleasant setting within easy reach of a wide range of amenities.
The region benefits from a relatively dry climate, averaging 44mm of rainfall per month in summer and 41mm per month in winter. Temperatures reportedly average 14°C in summer and 4°C in winter.
The land at Hillview Road extends to approximately 6.55 acres and comprises a single block of land (approx. 6.25 acres) together with a separate strip of land forming an access track (approx. 0.3 acres).
The land is situated at an elevation ranging from approximately 80 metres to 84.5 metres above sea level, with a median elevation of 82.28 metres. The land is accessed directly from Hillview Road.
The land is currently lying fallow following a Spring Pea crop and offers an attractive opportunity for agricultural, equestrian and lifestyle purchasers. The recent pea crop rovides an excellent entry for future cropping, having naturally enriched the soil with nitrogen and helping to improve soil fertility as part of a productive arable rotation. The James Hutton Institute Land Capability for Agriculture maps classify the land as Class 2.
In addition to its agricultural appeal, the land may offer longer-term strategic and development potential, being situated immediately adjacent to the existing residential properties at Hillview Road and the settlement edge of Ormiston. Purchasers may wish to consider the future planning prospects of the land, subject to obtaining all necessary planning consents and approvals.
The property is offered for sale subject to a 30-year clawback provision, reserving 30% of any uplift in value resulting from the grant of planning permission or other qualifying development event during that period.
