0 Bed House For Sale

Yearling Grove is a small, exclusive development on the edge of the conservation village of Howgate, just 1.5 miles from Penicuik. Natcal Properties will create a peaceful countryside hamlet of five new-build 4-bed homes in addition to the two cottages. Everything is ready for you to create your own dream home with confidence. The existing structures were previously the incredibly popular Howgate Restaurant which closed its doors in 2019.
Two individual serviced stone cottages with detailed planning permission available for sale within exclusive development. The existing buildings have been completely cleared to allow a blank canvas for any prospective purchasers. Both properties come fully serviced with planning consent in place, giving you a clear, straightforward path from vision to completion. Both plots provide the opportunity for open-plan living, creating a seamless flow between indoor and out, allowing natural light to flood the interiors while framing the beautiful rural views. Plots 1 and 2 would suit any developer, DIY enthusiast or any individual looking to create and build their own dream home.
Within this exclusive hamlet on the edge of Howgate, you’ll live in open countryside, but only 1.5 miles from Penicuik and 20 minutes south of Edinburgh. It’s proper steading calm the morning light hitting the fields, the quiet rhythm of rural air but without sacrificing access to amenities, schools, work hubs or transport. It’s that sweet spot: rural soul, modern convenience.
Steading living at Yearling Grove is all about reclaiming the luxury of space, peace and heritage. These two stone buildings - once part of Kerr’s Yard and later home to the much-loved Howgate Restaurant - now present a rare opportunity to build a contemporary life rooted in real Midlothian history. Instead of buying a finished box, these plots let you curate, shape and define a home that reflects who you are - right from first principles. Steading homes are usually designed around open, social living spaces that connect directly to gardens and landscape views. Conversions allow you to preserve the character of a building while upgrading it for contemporary living standards.
