Househunters looking to buy a house in central Scotland may be interested in some two-bedroom apartments currently on offer in Dalkeith.

A housing development from George Wimpey named Wester Meadow may appeal to Scottish first-time buyers and young professionals, the firm asserts.

In addition, the development houses two, three, four and five-bedroom family homes, which may be perfectly situated for those who need to commute to Edinburgh, since it is located just off the A68.

Commenting on the housing range, Karen Armstrong, sales and marketing director for George Wimpey east Scotland, said: "Wester Meadow boasts a great location just a few minutes from the bustling town centre of Dalkeith and a truly impressive range of homes.

"Buyers are likely to find a home that suits their needs and life-stage whilst still maximising their property investment."

A series of townhouses have also been developed by the company in Burntisland in Fife, news which may also be of significance to people hoping to buy a house in central Scotland.
