Location
Nestled between the Pentland Hills and Water of Leith, the exclusive village of Balerno enjoys a feel of semi-rural charm, with easy access to city attractions. Surrounded by lush woodlands, and with rivers and reservoirs on your doorstep, it is hard to believe that Edinburgh city centre is only seven miles away. The area caters for everyday needs with services including shops, restaurants, traditional pubs, a library, and the regular Balerno Farmers' Market offers local, fresh produce. Balerno is renowned for its top-ranking primary, Dean Park Primary, and secondary schooling at Balerno High School, and private education is a short drive away. The area enjoys superb recreational and sports facilities including Midlothian Snowsports Centre, Currie Rugby and Football Club, Balerno Tennis Club, horse riding at the Pentland Hills Trekking Centre, and nearby Dalmahoy Golf and Country Club with a luxury spa.
Extras
All blinds, curtains, light fittings, fitted flooring, white goods and wardrobes in bedroom 1, 2 & 3 are included in the sale price. Other items may be available by separate negotiation.
