Welcome to Shawfair
Edinburgh
Within Shawfair we’ve created a new and exclusive selection of homes that have all been carefully designed by our award-winning architects to ensure each home meets your aspirations.
Our new ‘Villages’ range of homes at Shawfair comprise a choice of 3, 4, 5 and 6 bedroom detached family homes.
These are all homes that have been re-imagined and re-designed to meet the needs of contemporary living. You’ll find spacious interiors, stunning kitchens and attractive exteriors to suit buyers from young couples starting out to growing families and professionals.
Shawfair, Midlothian is a new community offering spacious country style living within easy reach of Edinburgh.
The thoughtfully designed town centre of Shawfair will bring a range of local shops and restaurants to your door. Cafes, bars, galleries, sports facilities and a swimming pool will all feature alongside parkland and open water. Work is already underway on new and upgraded nursery, primary and secondary education to serve families moving to the area.
And, of course, beyond being able to enjoy the plethora of attractions available in the city of Edinburgh itself, you’ll be ideally located for amenities across the Lothians and Scottish Borders.
