The development site has a fine central location in Lilliesleaf, a charming and accessible central borders village. The surrounding countryside is among the prettiest in the Borders with tidy enclosed fields dotted with trees and devoted to mixed agriculture.  An excellent primary school, a village hall, fine church and two hospitable pubs make the village an attractive and lively place in which to live, with a good community spirit.  The village is also within easy commuting distance of the main Borders centres of employment including Newtown St Boswells (Scottish Borders Council), Melrose (Borders General Hospital) and Galashiels which is the commercial hub of the area.

Lilliesleaf lies to the south of Melrose and to the southeast of Selkirk. The village may be reached from the A699 which links the A7 (on the southern edge of Selkirk) with the A68 (on the southern edge of St Boswells).  From the A699, turn south onto the B6359 which passes through Lilliesleaf.

Travel southwest along the Main Street, passing the primary school on your right. Shortly after this the development site is found on your right, lying between the properties known as Wellfield and Roseville.  

The development site lies on the northwest side of the B6359, the main road through Lilliesleaf, from which access to the site will be taken. The site is curently laid to grass and enjoys excellent outlooks, including views to the Eildon Hills from the northwest end of the site.
