Gorton Cottage and Stable Cottage are located in Lasswade, Midlothian, which benefits from being a short drive from Edinburgh city centre. The surrounding area appears peaceful and picturesque, based on the provided images. However, information on nearby schools and shops is not available to determine the overall convenience of the location. The proximity to Eskbank and Newtongrange train stations offers convenient access to public transportation.

The property comprises two cottages. The main house, Gorton Cottage, shows its age in some areas, particularly the kitchen and some bathrooms. While the property has character features such as exposed beams, some areas appear to be in need of modernisation or updating. Stable Cottage appears to be in better condition, with a more recently renovated interior. Overall, the condition is a mixed bag, requiring some investment to bring it up to a consistently high standard.

The property includes extensive grounds, as shown in the aerial view and photographs. There is a significant amount of land surrounding both cottages, providing ample outdoor space.

The list price of £550,000 is difficult to assess fully without accurate square footage data. The provided plot size is 0.00 sqft, which is inaccurate based on the images. The average price per square foot for Gorton Avenue is not provided, preventing a direct comparison. However, considering the property’s condition (requiring some modernisation), its location (rural but near Edinburgh), and the substantial land included, the price appears to be in line with the market, although a definitive assessment is hampered by missing data.

Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
