Location

38 Temple sits near the top of the quiet and peaceful conservation village of Temple in the heart of the Midlothian countryside.

The historic village is home to The Old Temple Kirk, believed to have been built in the 14th century. Temple Village Hall is the main gathering point for the community and hosts a number of events throughout the year, including a nursery and playgroup, a community cinema, and fundraising coffee mornings.

Gorebridge is approximately 3 miles away and sits about 11 miles to the southeast of Edinburgh city centre, offering local schooling, a good range of convenience shopping together with a variety of leisure and recreational facilities and all the usual amenities including restaurants. The area benefits from a regular public transport service operating to the city centre and neighbouring Midlothian towns and villages.   The Edinburgh City Bypass gives direct links heading west to the M8 and Glasgow and the M9, and north over the Forth Road Bridge. Heading eastward, the Bypass connects to the A1 and the heart of East Lothian and beyond. In addition, the Borders rail link is also nearby and offers services in and out of Edinburgh.
