Location

Newliston is located on Edinburgh's urban fringe, only 10 miles from the city centre, 3 miles from Ingliston Park and Ride (serviced by bus and tram links to the city) and 4 miles from Edinburgh Airport. Edinburgh, Scotland's capital city, is renowned for its historic Old Town and famous skyline dominated by Edinburgh Castle, and the classical architecture of its New Town. Known globally as a financial centre and home to a number of highly acclaimed universities, it now attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors a year particularly during the month of August when it plays host to Edinburgh's International Festival and Fringe, a cultural feast of the arts including music, theatre, film and literature.

Situated between the confluence of central Scotland's motorway road network, quick and easy access to all parts of Scotland could not be easier with Glasgow 38 miles to the west, Stirling 28 miles to the north west and Perth, gateway to the Scottish Highlands, 40 miles to the north. Beyond Edinburgh, on the East Lothian coastline are some of the best links golf courses in the world (Gullane, Muirfield, Archerfield and North Berwick) with St. Andrews, the Home of Golf and regular host of The Open lying 48 miles to the north east over the Queensferry Crossing. Given Newliston's location, there is a vast array of facilities which are readily accessible.

There are a multitude of independent schools in the city to choose from including Cargilfield (preparatory), Fettes College, Edinburgh Academy, George Watson's College, George Heriot's, Merchiston (boys only) and St George's (girls only). Clifton Hall , an independent school offering education from age 3 to 18, is located only 3 miles from Newliston.

Description

Located to the south of A89, lies part of Newliston Estate (Lot 2) known as Haugh Farm. Situated immediately adjacent to the public road is a former range of traditional farm buildings, constructed of stone walls under a slate roof. These listed redundant buildings occupying a strategic position with road frontage, offer significant development potential, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents. The site is relatively flat with scope for car parking or further development.

Attached to the steading is Haugh Steading Cottage. To the east of the site and surrounded by an enclosed garden is Haugh Farmhouse; and beyond East Haugh Cottages No. 1 & 2.

Part of the land is let under a Modern Limited Duration Tenancy (MLDT) until 2035. The farming tenants have a long standing association with the estate and exhibit a high degree of crop and animal husbandry. The pasture is let on a seasonal basis.

The River Almond forms the southern boundary of the estate and demarks the divide between productive farmland and light industrial development on the south side of the river. It is considered that the land to the south of A89 may have strategic long term development potential and the Seller will reserve an overage over all the land to the south of the A89.

Lot 2 - The Haugh extends to 206 acres and the land can be analysed as 158 acres of arable, 10 acres of pasture and 24 acres of woodland.
