Derelict renovation project with strong development upside near Edinburgh.
Detached two-bedroom stone cottage with large garden and countryside views
Lot 3 Wester Kinleith Farm Cottage is a detached two-bedroom stone cottage set in an elevated rural farmstead, offered with vacant possession and clear development potential. The house sits in a large garden with good north-facing views over open countryside toward the Pentland Hills and Edinburgh skyline. It requires comprehensive refurbishment but benefits from planning activity affecting adjacent cottages (planning ref. 22/00403/FUL) and could suit a renovation-led resale or countryside holiday-let conversion, subject to consents.
Practical advantages include freehold tenure, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, and straightforward road access about eight miles west of Edinburgh city centre. Fixtures and fittings within the houses are included in the sale price. Buyers should note the property is derelict in places, with boarded windows and areas in disrepair; entry is at viewers’ own risk and a full refurbishment will be required to make it habitable.
This lot will appeal to investors or experienced renovators seeking a scenic, view-led project close to Edinburgh. The combination of a substantial garden, rural outlook and planning precedents across the cottage terrace creates tangible potential, while buyers must factor in renovation costs, higher-than-average council tax and compliance with any servitudes or agricultural-holding considerations before purchase.
