LOCATION
Penicuik is an attractive town just south of Edinburgh completely surrounded by open countryside, which extends from here right into the borders. In terms of travelling time, Princes Street to Penicuik is generally a twenty-five to thirty minute drive, except at the busiest of times. For those whose jobs require them to travel throughout Scotland, Penicuik is an excellent position. Only ten minutes away lies the Edinburgh city bypass, which gives access to all major routes, whilst Penicuik itself is on the main road to Peebles and all points south, and just off the road directly to Carlisle, which also gives easy access to Clyde Valley and the city of Glasgow.
Throughout Penicuik are a number of Primary and Secondary schools. Just off Carlops Road, at Penicuik High School one mile from the property, is Penicuik Leisure Centre with Library and swimming pool.
Penicuik is well served with every possible shopping facility, service and amenity. Much of the town centre is pedestrianised, making shopping both pleasant and entirely safe. Apart from the extensive variety of small shopping facilities, there is a branch of Lidl and a Tesco Superstore. Slightly further afield - a ten minute - drive takes you to Straiton Retail Park where you will find a selection of shops including IKEA, Costco and Sainsburys. The town centre provides a wide choice of building society, banking and post office services. In this same area is the Health Centre, which provides very comprehensive services, including those of a dentist.
