Edinburgh, EH17 - Get Access

Description

This fantastic development opportunity comprises a diamond-shaped piece of land located in a prime suburban area to the south of Edinburgh, offering an excellent prospect for investors and developers. The plot measures 2103 square metres. It consists primarily of grassed flat land situated to the north of a new Barratt development, bordered by a dry stone dyke on two sides and open fencing on the remaining two. Access is provided via a dirt track through a fenced area. The site has recently been landscaped and is mostly laid with stone chips. Historically, the land was home to the Burdiehouse Inn from approximately 1930 to 1950. This sought-after and well-sized plot is seldom available at auction and is ideally positioned close to various local amenities and transport links. There is significant potential for redevelopment, subject to researching and gaining the necessary consents. Possible uses for the grounds include reinstating the former inn, glamping facilities, recreational activities, storage, car park, or potential residential development. Highly frequent public transport offers quick and easy access to the city centre. The surrounding area benefits from ongoing new developments. Burdiehouse Road is approximately 5 miles from Edinburgh City Centre, forming part of a popular commuter zone in the south of the city. It serves as a main arterial road into Edinburgh from the south, connecting the city bypass with the city centre, providing excellent bus and car access to the bypass. The vicinity offers a diverse range of shopping options, with Cameron Toll shopping centre located nearby for more extensive retail needs. The property is ideally situated for outdoor pursuits, with easy access to the Pentland Hills, a ski slope, golfing, and equestrian activities. The main road also offers bus routes to the city. Furthermore, the A1, M8/M9, Forth Road Bridge, and Edinburgh Airport are all within easy driving distance via the bypass.
