Potential homebuyers are being offered "the best of both worlds" at a new development near Edinburgh.

The Waverley Gardens site at Dalkeith may prove ideal for those who seek a village lifestyle but do not want to be too far from the city.

Homebuilder Charles Church explains that, located just six miles from the hustle and bustle of the centre of Edinburgh, Dalkeith offers a range of four-bedroom houses set in a warm, friendly rural atmosphere.

Features of the village include a number of local shops and pubs as well as a church that was built in the 15th century.

Prices on the properties, which are available in five unique styles, begin at £299,500.

Elsewhere in the region, Cruden Homes announced earlier this month that buyers may have to hurry if they wish to get their hands on one of the few remaining properties at it Genesis development in Granton.
