The development site at Barvick consists of 10 biodiverse acres which have been largely left to grow naturally over the last ten years. The Turret Burn dissects the site (just south of its confluence with the Barvick Burn) and is a charming focal point in the grounds. The entrance to the site is between circular stone pillars from where a tarmac driveway leads down to Barvick House, Barvick Cottage and an outbuilding. These buildings are now derelict.

Detailed plans (drawn up by local architects, The Denholm Partnership), have been approved for the construction of two new five bedroom houses to be re-sited within the grounds. The proposed site plan would allow for the site to be split between the properties. However, subject to obtaining the relevant further consents, the site would also work very well with a single main house and subsidiary cottage. As work has begun on the entrance driveway, the planning permission (17/01046/FLL) is deemed to have started.

On the east side of the burn there are some fabulous old trees, expanses of grass, rhododendrons, a dilapidated summer house and lovely views over the Turret Water. The west side of the burn is reached via an old bridge which is also dilapidated and unsafe (crossing this bridge is prohibited). On the west side of the property there is untamed pasture and coniferous woodland.
