LOCATION
The plot (lot 1) is located on the north-west edge of the village of Howgate, which is small conservation village within south Midlothian. The area is predominantly rural, with a number of village houses close by to the north and south, but with open fields and views to the Pentland Hills dominating the surroundings. The plot is accessed off the B7026 public road, which runs north from the village and joins the A701, approximately three miles to the north, with Edinburgh City centre being approximately eleven miles north from the plot and land.
Howgate is a small, rural, conservation village, centred around a village green. The village benefits from excellent access to Edinburgh and as such is popular with commuters, however, it retains a real village community within a pleasant rural area. Larger town services are available in Penicuik, approximately two miles to the north-west, including primary and secondary schooling. Major out of town shopping is available at Straiton, approximately five miles to the north, along with Edinburgh Park and Ride facilities and connections onto the A720, Edinburgh City By-pass.
DIRECTIONS
From the Straiton junction on the A720, Edinburgh City By-pass, head south on the A701, signposted to Penicuik. Continue towards Penicuik on the A701 at the “Gowkley Moss Roundabout” but just after, branch off to the left onto the B7026 at Auchendinny. Continue on the B7026 through Auchendinny and the hamlet of Loanstone. Approximately one mile beyond Loanstone, the road enters the Howgate “30” limit and the plot is on the right hand side at the bottom of the hill, before the roundabout.
The postcode for satnav purposes is EH26 8QD. It is strongly recommended that you do not rely on a Satnav in this rural location and check on a route map prior to any viewing.

Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
