This three-storey, five-bedroom end-terrace townhouse in Millerhill Grange is a contemporary new-build that suits a growing family wanting easy commuting to Edinburgh. The ground floor’s open-plan living/dining/kitchen with integrated appliances and French doors flows directly to a fully turfed, private garden — a practical layout for daily life and entertaining. Bedrooms are split across the first and second floors; the principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite and fitted wardrobe, and two further bedrooms include built-in storage.
Practical details strengthen the offer: off-street monoblock parking, freehold tenure, energy-efficient new construction, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. The development sits close to the new Shawfair rail station and a planned town centre with shops, cafes and schools, while surrounding countryside provides walking and cycling routes. There is low flood risk.
Be clear on the trade-offs: the listing describes the overall size as small despite 1,348 sq ft, and the wider area is classified as “very deprived,” which can affect resale and local services. As a new development, nearby construction, phased landscaping and evolving local infrastructure are possible while the wider Shawfair/Millerhill area completes.
For buyers seeking move-in-ready modern finishes, useful storage and strong transport links, this offers practical family accommodation. Investors should factor in the local area classification and evolving neighbourhood amenities when assessing long-term yield and demand.
