Eskbank, Midlothian
Nestled within the delightful Midlothian countryside and only 8 miles from Edinburgh city centre, the sought-after residential suburb of Eskbank enjoys a picturesque setting within easy commute of the capital. Eskbank enjoys its own train station, which makes this area extremely accessible for city professionals. Situated between the North Esk and South Esk rivers, the area is known for its scenic countryside. From tranquil walking and cycling routes to family days out at nearby Vogrie Country Park, Butterfly World and Newbattle Abbey on your doorstep, Eskbank has something for everyone. For sport and fitness enthusiasts, nearby Lasswade Leisure Centre boasts a swimming pool, a state-of-the-art gym and a varied programme of fitness classes. Eskbank is served by an excellent range of local services and amenities, with more extensive shopping and leisure facilities provided at Straiton Retail Park and Fort Kinnaird, which are both just a short drive away. The area enjoys access to a fantastic range of schooling in both the public and private sector. It is within the catchment area for Kings Park Primary School and Dalkeith High School and is also within easy reach of some of the most prestigious independent schools in and around the capital. Popular with commuters thanks to its ideal transport links into the city, Eskbank has become even more sought-after since the opening of the new Borders Railway. The new rail link provides rapid services into the city centre in just 15 minutes. Thanks to its location southeast of the capital, Eskbank also offers swift and easy access to Edinburgh City Bypass, Edinburgh Airport and the M8/M9 motorway networks.
