The Howgate Steading, Howgate, Penicuik

Yearling Grove offers a rare investment opportunity in the desirable conservation village of Howgate, only 1.5 miles from Penicuik and a short 20-minute drive from Edinburgh. This small, exclusive development features two serviced stone cottages, previously known as the popular Howgate Restaurant until its closure in 2019. The existing structures have been completely cleared, providing an ideal blank canvas for buyers to design their dream homes. With detailed planning permission already granted, these plots are perfect for developers or DIY enthusiasts eager to create bespoke residences that blend modern living with traditional charm. The potential for open-plan layouts enhances connectivity between indoor spaces and the stunning rural landscape, allowing ample natural light to permeate throughout. Living here combines the tranquility of the countryside with easy access to local amenities, schools, and transport links. This project not only allows for individual expression in home-building but also retains the heritage of Midlothian by repurposing historic sites into contemporary dwellings.
