DESCRIPTION

Huge development opportunity close to the heart Scotland's capital city, Edinburgh.

Planning permission is in place for 10 x 4 bedroom holiday homes. With Edinburgh Festival and Hogmanay celebrations attracting millions of visitors to the city every year this presents an incredible opportunity for an investment in one of the countries most beautiful cities. Set at the foot of the Pentland Hills and less than a couple of miles from Hillend ski centre this is an ideal semi rural location for anyone looking to escape the Hussle and bustle whilst still being close to all that a major city has to offer. There has been a lot of discussions around the expansion of the ski centre which would only add to the potential of the site. We are advised that rental potential for a short term let during peak season would be around £1,600 per week with an expected annual income of around £30,000.

PLANNING

As for the site itself, it is a former working farm that will benefit from the redevelopment of the whole area.

There is planning permission in place to convert the whole site into 10 different plots. This is a terrific opportunity to be part of a new development that is certain to bring a lot of value to the area.

LOCATION

Boghall Farm lies to the south west of Edinburgh, on the edge of the Pentlands Regional Park, well placed for access to the city centre.

The A720 City Bypass (about 1 mile) offers connections to Edinburgh Airport and the central Scotland motorway network. Penicuik, about 4 miles to the south, has excellent local facilities, including a supermarket, banks, medical centre and a leisure centre, as well as well regarded local primary and secondary schools. There are further local services at Rosslyn (around 3 miles) which is also home to a historic chapel. Out of town shopping can be found at The Gyle Shopping Centre and Straiton Retail Park, which also has a park and ride facility. There are regular bus services into Edinburgh city centre, and there is a bus stop at the farm entrance. The extensive shopping, commercial, cultural and leisure amenities provided by Scotland's capital city are all within easy reach.

The surrounding area offers a wonderful array of activities for the outdoor enthusiast. The miles of beautiful countryside are ideal for walking, cycling and horseriding. The Pentlands Regional Park, a mecca for hillwalking enthusiasts, is on the doorstep, with walking trails leading via the farm to nearby Allermuir Hill. There is an outdoor Ski Centre at Hillend. The range of golf courses include at nearby Swanston and Glencorse, and world class facilities, such as the Open Championship course at Muirfield, a little further afield. The East Lothian coastline is famed for its beautiful sandy beaches, whilst to the south, the Scottish Borders offer further opportunities for rural pursuits.
