Wester Kinleith Farmhouse is an elevated traditional stone farmhouse set within a large farmstead, offering outstanding long-range views and substantial development potential. The property includes a five-bedroom main house, extensive traditional and modern agricultural outbuildings, and an adjoining yard — a strong opportunity for refurbishment, conversion or smallholding reuse subject to planning.
The farmhouse requires full renovation: expect roof, structural and internal work, plus potential removal of corrugated sheeting and asbestos in some outbuildings. Services (mains water, electricity, drainage) should be verified before committing; the sale is freehold and includes fixtures and fittings but is sold as an agricultural holding with third-party rights and servitudes. Planning reference 22/00403/FUL is noted for the site and will be a key document for redevelopment prospects.
Practical positives include excellent mobile signal, fast broadband, no flooding risk and good road access to Currie (1.5 miles) and Edinburgh (about 8 miles). The setting at the foot of the Pentland Hills gives privacy and a countryside character attractive to buyers seeking a rural redevelopment project or an investor targeting residential conversion. Viewings involve physical risk in some areas due to disrepair; inspectors should take care and consider a full survey before purchase.
This lot will suit a buyer who can manage a substantial refurbishment or redevelopment programme and who values land, location and long-distance views as primary assets. Key next steps are a measured site area, full condition survey, planning and constraints check with City of Edinburgh Council, and utilities searches to assess the scale and cost of repair or conversion.
