Last Chance To Buy At Midlothian Scheme

Dandara East Scotland is getting ready to say goodbye to its Shawfair development, with just one property remaining to sell.

Buyers will have to act quickly if they are to secure the two bedroom ‘Harris’, which will be ready to move into in the Spring. Priced at £236,995, this terraced house features an open-plan kitchen/lounge/dining room with French doors to the garden, a cloakroom, handy storage and utility space on the ground floor, while upstairs there are two bedrooms, a family bathroom and a storeroom. It comes complete with an upgraded kitchen and flooring included in the price, along with LBTT (Land and Buildings Transaction Tax) paid and a mortgage contribution worth £6,000.

Lisa Archibald, head of sales at Dandara East Scotland, said: “The ‘Harris’ is a great property for a first-time buyer and the incentives give them a lot of help to manage finances in the first year of setting up home, which can often be an expensive time.”

Offering all the benefits of country living but just 15 minutes from Edinburgh, Shawfair has been popular with buyers, thanks to the quality and range of homes on offer, excellent transport links, local amenities and impressive network of walks and cycle paths.

Lisa Archibald said: “It only seems like yesterday that we started work at Shawfair not two-and-a-half years ago. It has been one of our fastest-selling sites and it has been a real honour to have been involved in such an amazing project to regenerate this area. I can’t praise highly enough the work of all of the housebuilders involved, Shawfair LLP and Midlothian Council and we can’t wait to see how the wider Shawfair development progresses over the next few years.”

The final homes will take the number of Dandara properties completed at the development to 83. Of these 65 are private homes and 18 are affordable.

Shawfair has been strategically planned so that everything is easily accessible; from new schools and leisure facilities to 160 acres of community woodland and landscaped green spaces. Green transport has been woven into the fabric of the development; from the eight-mile network of cycle paths to the easy 15-minute train journey into central Edinburgh from Shawfair station.

Work on a new secondary school is expected to start in 2024 and a state-of-the-art David Lloyd Leisure club is scheduled to open later this year, which will include a badminton court, an indoor pool, large state-of-the-art gym and two tennis courts enclosed by giant domes.
