A disused water tank almost entirely underground could be yours for £400k
It dates to the early Edwardian era and is almost entirely underground. But now the decommissioned 1905 water tank in a picturesque seaside town is up for sale for under £400,000. The B-listed circular property over 9,686 sq ft – equivalent of more than four tennis courts in size - occupies a half-acre plot on Heugh Brae overlooking North Berwick, in East Lothian. It comes with a planning permission to turn it into a striking family home with six bedrooms and three reception rooms over two floors plus a double garage. Known as the Heugh Water Tank, the building commands spectacular views of the volcanic Bass Rock, North Berwick Law, Tantallon Castle and the surrounding hills. The structure is made of brick and concrete and surmounted by a twelve-sided pitched and slated roof making it of historic and architectural significance. On a secure, fenced site, the plot is not currently serviced but the vendor does hold quotations for water, drainage and electricity connections. It is being marketed by law firm Gilson Grey as a 'development opportunity' and commands an asking price of £395,000. The sales brochure points out North Berwick was recently voted as the best place to live in the UK with a lively and vibrant town centre. It has also been ranked as one of Scotland's best coastal resorts with the coastline forming a significant part of the John Muir way. The brochure lists amenities from galleries to a family-run butcher, coffee houses and two large supermarkets.

A mere mile from the town centre and a half-an-hour commute from Edinburgh by train, the area is in the grips of a property boom with families and young couples seeking to locate there. The former Scottish Water property which was decommissioned in 2004 was last on the market in 2021 when the asking price was offers over £450,000.
