We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Impressive, this two-bedroom upper villa is quietly positioned within the popular Midlothian town of Newtongrange.
Benefitting from off-street parking and a substantial private garden, while being close to excellent day-to-day amenities and commuting links, the property is ideally suited to first-time buyers, professionals, and growing families.
The accommodation is accessed via a private entrance staircase leading to a welcoming hallway, featuring a large cloak cupboard.
There is also access to the attic via a Ramsay ladder, with the space partially floored and offering useful additional storage.
The lounge/diner is bright and spacious, providing ample room for both lounge and dining furniture.
A particular highlight is the outlook towards the historic Newtongrange Mining Museum pit wheel and chimney, adding a unique and characterful aspect.
Off the lounge, the stylish kitchen is well-appointed with a range of integrated and freestanding white goods, complemented by tiled flooring and a dual aspect outlook.
There are two generously proportioned double bedrooms.
The principal bedroom benefits from a large closet, while the second bedroom features a traditional shelved press cupboard and is currently utilised as a dressing room, offering excellent flexibility.
Both rooms provide ample space for freestanding furniture and enjoy fantastic views stretching towards Arthur’s Seat and the Pentland Hills.
The attractive shower room is fitted with a corner shower cubicle incorporating body jets, rainfall shower, and integrated radio/Bluetooth features, alongside partial tiling and tiled flooring.
Further benefits include gas central heating, with a new boiler installed in late 2025, and double glazing with windows replaced in 2024.
Previously, planning permission had been granted to further develop the attic space. While this has now lapsed, it is understood that reinstatement may be possible, subject to the necessary consents.
Externally, the property boasts a substantial private rear garden, featuring two separate patio areas – perfect for enjoying the views towards Edinburgh – as well as a well-maintained lawn.
