Sauchenside Farm presents a rare rural opportunity: a C‑listed 19th‑century farmhouse with traditional steading and paddocks extending to about 1.52 hectares (3.75 acres). The stone farmhouse sits elevated with far‑reaching views towards the Lammermuir Hills and a south‑east facing walled garden. The holding is well‑placed for equestrian use or small‑scale residential redevelopment, with pre‑application feedback from Midlothian Council supportive in principle of sensitive conversion and limited infill.
The buildings benefit from a strong traditional footprint (circa 432 sq.m GEA) arranged in a courtyard and include a mix of stone steadings, modern steel sheds, stables and workshops. Many of the modern roofs contain asbestos cement and several structures will need upgrading; the site has mains water, electricity and drainage but services will likely require enhancement for redevelopment. The sellers reserve the right to remove Building No.1 within 12 months unless required by the purchaser.
Important practical points: the farmhouse has been unoccupied for some years, has an EPC rating of F and requires complete renovation; as a C‑listed property any works will need specialist listed‑building consent. Council Tax band G and maintenance of all boundaries will be the purchaser’s responsibility. For purchasers seeking a country lifestyle within a short drive of Edinburgh, or developers/investors targeting sympathetic conversion, this lot offers strong potential balanced by clear renovation and regulatory costs.
