The housebuilder, part of Barratt Developments, is building a range of three and four-bedroom terraced, semi and detached homes at the 11.5-hectare site on Roslin’s northern edge. It has been designed as a perfect location for families, with a children’s play area and spaces dedicated to establishing biodiversity.

Planning permission was granted to David Wilson Homes and CALA Homes by Midlothian Council in 2021 to build 213 properties, including 53 affordable homes.

It includes a £3.8 million investment by the developers to facilitate improvements in the local area, including an A701 upgrade, local primary school extension, a new secondary school and community facilities.

Anne Ross, sales director of David Wilson Homes, said: “We have a rich history in Roslin following our previous development of 51 homes, which proved extremely popular with buyers and sold out. We’re excited to be in a position to provide families with a chance to purchase a home with a tremendous amount of space while being located a short distance from Edinburgh city centre.”
