Former shepard's cottage in the heart of the Pentland Hills Regional Park on the market for the first time

On the shores of Loganlea Reservoir in the heart of the Pentland Hills Regional Park, the Howe feels a million miles from city life, yet is only 13 miles from Edinburgh.

It is the first time ever to market for this former shepherd’s cottage, which sits in a spectacular position.

The three-bedroomed house is in 2.77 acres and has been well maintained and modernised over the years.

There is the opportunity to purchase an additional 2 acres of hillside if the buyer wished.

The sitting room enjoys a spectacular view up Logan Burn and there is the opportunity to extend the house with the right planning permission.

With good outbuildings including a byre, kennels and a workshop, the property has huge potential, perhaps for buyers looking for a self-sufficient lifestyle or just a very private home.

The paddock garden is currently freely grazed by the Blackface sheep which are farmed on the surrounding hills.

Anna Gardiner for Savills says: “It is incredibly rare to have the chance to acquire a property in such a breathtaking beauty spot.

“It really is a remarkable opportunity to own a magical little piece of the Scottish landscape that is so easily commutable to Edinburgh.”
