The Heugh Water Tank, The Heugh, North Berwick, East Lothian EH39

A truly rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional piece of North Berwick’s heritage, this former water reservoir offers a unique residential development opportunity. Set on an elevated half-acre plot, the site commands sweeping views over the town, coastline and surrounding landscape, and benefits from full planning permission to create a remarkable, architect-designed home.

Planning for a six bedroom house with three reception rooms. The approved planning, dating from April 2020 (Ref: 19/00700/P), showcases a proposal that blends bold architectural vision with the integrity of the original structure. The proposed plans include a double-storey house with the main reception rooms on the ground floor - most leading directly to the gardens via French doors, with the bedrooms situated on the upper floor. The positioning of the property ensures outstanding privacy, with further planning in place for a double garage and ample parking space.

The current structure comprises a large, circular tank of brick and concrete, surmounted by a striking twelve-sided pitched and slated roof, which is b-listed in recognition of its historical and architectural significance. The site is enclosed by secure fencing, with gated access. It commands outstanding views stretching to Bass Rock, North Berwick Law, Tantallon Castle, and the surrounding hills. Although the plot is not currently serviced, the vendor holds quotations for water, drainage and electricity connections.
