The opportunity comprises two detached single storey properties with garage, stores and outbuildings.
These are set amidst mature landscaped gardens arranged around a series of manmade clay-based ponds and lawns. There is direct vehicular access from Glasgow Road with the properties enjoying a legal right of access over the Norton House Hotel access road. Its principal car entrance/exit to the A8 is over a cattle grid on the northern boundary of the site.
During the 1970’s, this once flat area of land was excavated and shaped by its previous owner to create an undulating and unique landscape. Earth and large boulders excavated during the construction of the Edinburgh City Bypass were decanted here and individually placed to form large-grassed mounds, islands and pond edges. The water system is fed by rainwater and natural spring and requires no upkeep or maintenance. The ponds are inter-connected by pipework and there is an overflow which connects to a culvert on the eastern boundary.
Location
West Ingliston Cottage is located approximately 10 miles west of Edinburgh City Centre just off the westbound carriage way of the A8 Glasgow Road, a principal dual carriageway.
The property sits directly opposite the south-west corner of the Royal Highland Showground. Primarily, the principal access to West Ingliston Cottage is directly from westbound A8, crossing a cattle grid into a ‘private’ driveway. The Lodge and grounds share the same access road as the Norton House Hotel. Approaching from the east the properties are accessed via the A8. From the eastbound A8, turn off the dual carriageway at Edinburgh Airport to join the westbound carriageway and follow the signs for Norton House Hotel.
1-mile further west is the Newbridge roundabout where the M8 and M90 converge giving easy access to Central Scotland’s motorway network. The M9 and Queensferry Crossing are all also accessible from this junction.
Edinburgh Airport, Scotland’s busiest and the UK’s sixth largest, is 1.5 miles north-east providing routes to over 150 destinations around the world.
A wide range of retail shopping and supermarkets are available at nearby Gyle Shopping Centre and Hermiston Retail Park.
Royal Bank of Scotland’s global headquarters (Gogarburn) is only a 1.5 mile walk or cycle away.
The new ‘West Town’ development will be approximately 1 mile away on the north side of the A8 with first occupation anticipated in early 2026.
