Miller Homes at Dalhousie Gate will bring a selection of three, four and five-bedroom family homes from the homebuilder’s new portfolio to the Midlothian market town – a nine-mile drive from Edinburgh city centre.

The land purchase will facilitate the delivery of much needed energy-efficient family homes in the area, with initial preparatory works now commencing on site, and a sales centre due to launch in Autumn 2024.

Miller Homes’ land director, David Morgan said: “We are thrilled to announce the acquisition of the Dalhousie site and look forward to bringing high-quality homes to the sought after location of Bonnyrigg.

“The acquisition will allow us to continue delivering sustainable new communities in the east of Scotland and meet the increasing demand for new homes in Midlothian.

“Dalhousie Gate is in a prime location within easy reach of Edinburgh city centre and will provide high quality homes for families of all sizes.

“We’re excited to start developing this vibrant community further and work with nearby businesses and schools to integrate Dalhousie Gate and support the local area.”

Campbell Whyte, regional land director for Springfield, said: “Bonnyrigg is a desirable area with fantastic links to Edinburgh and strong demand for high-quality, energy efficient homes.”

Work on the development will start later this year with homes ready to pre-reserve in October.
