Property Description
The subjects comprise a large, rectangular area of land with a former nursery building which has suffered from fire damage. The site on which the building sits extends to approximately 0.72 acres and is bounded with masonry walls and timber fencing.
The site is sloping with an access drive taken directly off the A70/Lanark Road. The garden ground is mostly laid with grass and mature trees.
The land is bordered on the south, west and east most elevations by timber fencing behind the trees, whilst the north is bordered with a masonry wall.
Location
The subjects are located approximately 5 miles south-west of Edinburgh city centre, Scotland’s capital city and one of the UK’s leading tourist destinations.

Edinburgh International Airport, approximately 6.5 miles north-west of this property, connects the city internationally.
More specifically, the property is located on the south side of the A70/Lanark Road which is one of the main arterial routes into and out of the city of Edinburgh. The property is situated in the established residential area of Colinton and benefits from nearby public and private school education facilities, supermarkets and a wide range of local amenities. Public transport links are also widely available.
Surrounding properties consist of predominantly one and two storey detached houses with large gardens.
