Outbuildings with development potential subject to the appropriate planning permission.
 

Lot 2 Orchard Buildings About 1.41 acres (0.57 Ha) 
The Orchard Buildings site extends to about 1.41 acres, and was the site of the current owner's garden business. The business has been sold and is being relocated to East Lothian and as a result, the buildings are now redundant.  
 
The buildings could be utilised for a range of uses including stabling, garaging, storage or subject to planning permission, could be developed into a wonderful house site. The current owners have not carried out any research into the planning potential. 
 
If required by a buyer, the owners would be happy to remove the buildings and lay the area down to grass.
 

 
Situation
Orchard House is situated in a large walled garden down a quiet, private road to the south of Rosewell village. It is surrounded by open countryside yet is only 9 miles from Edinburgh city centre and combines the delights of rural living with a short commute to Scotland's capital. 
 
Rosewell provides local services with a number of shops and primary schooling. There are a variety of supermarkets and retail parks on the Edinburgh bypass which offer a wide range of shops. Edinburgh city centre has a further selection of bespoke shops and a full range of professional services.  
 
Edinburgh has an extensive range of leisure, cultural, educational and transport links as expected of Scotland's capital city. There are a number of private schools on the south side of the city including George Watsons College, Merchiston Castle School, George Heriots and St Margarets which are all readily accessible. The new Edinburgh Royal Infirmary complements the provision of local doctors and smaller hospitals. 
 
For the outdoor enthusiast, the area offers many opportunities with numerous golf courses, walking in the Pentland Hills, horse riding, skiing at Hillend dry ski slope and sailing on the Forth Estuary. 
 
There is a mainline railway station in Edinburgh city centre and a local commuting station (3 miles) is scheduled to be built as part of the new Waverley Line. Edinburgh Airport (14 miles) offers a wide selection of flights to various UK, European and worldwide destinations.
