Directions
The site benefits from access via both Burnbrae Road and Burnlea Drive, providing flexible entry points.

Description
This attractive parcel of land lies at the end of Burnbrae Road in the village of Stoneyburn and is identified in the adopted West Lothian Local Development Plan as site H-SB6.
