5 Newton Cottages, Dalkeith, Midlothian, EH22 1SA

The property

An opportunity has arisen to purchase an end-terraced, stone-built cottage of traditional design set within picturesque gardens and requiring modernisation and upgrading to form a small but attractive one-bedroom property. The cottage is well situated for access to the historical and business city centre of Edinburgh with a train station at nearby Shawfair and an eighteen minute run into Edinburgh Waverley. Also within easy reach are the Royal Edinburgh Infirmary, Queen Margaret University and for shopping facilities Dalkeith and Musselburgh are two miles away and there are further shopping outlets at Fort Kinnaird with Marks and Spencer and at Straiton. Many buses serve this area leading into the city centre and other parts. There is a Park and Ride at Todhills and at Shawfair and for leisure facilities there is a health club at Newcraighall and also Shawfair and golf courses include Newbattle and Musselburgh. 4 NEWTON FARM COTTAGES AND PURCHASERS SHOULD NOTE THAT BOTH PROPERTIES COULD BE PURCHASED TOGETHER OR INDIVIDUALLY. Taking both cottages together provides an excellent development potential which can be seen when viewing takes place. The area at Newton is presently the subject of a Cala development with high-priced houses being erected in the area. Those adjacent to the subjects of sale will be occupied in the autumn and the houses to the south will be built at a later date. It is to be noted that there will be a gravel path leading to the subjects of sale and the houses to be built will be beyond a car park built by Cala for residents. A copy of the Builders' Site Plan will be available to any interested purchaser. This cottage requires complete modernisation and upgrading and is not presently habitable and the potential will be noted when viewing takes place. The accommodation comprises kitchen, large lounge, two bedrooms, bathroom and wc. The gardens are surrounded by stone walls and fences and can be adapted into a very attractive garden area for a purchaser.
