Property for sale in Penicuik
Penicuik, with a population of approximately 25,000, lies nine commuting miles to the south of Edinburgh in a countryside setting, with a backdrop of the scenic Pentland hills. Unusually, Penicuik's town centre lies at the extreme southern end of a built up area that now stretches some two miles back towards Edinburgh. Estate agents in Penicuik say one reason for this is that much of the town's recent growth has been due to its proximity to Edinburgh, and new housing developments have been built on this side of town to cater for people who want to commute into the capital. There is a variety of property for sale in Penicuik, including semi detached houses, flats in purpose built blocks, Victorian stone cottages, detached bungalows and modern family homes.
