Miller Homes at Shawfair

A new home. The start of a whole new chapter for you and your family. And for us, the part of our job where bricks and mortar becomes a place filled with activity and dreams and fun and love. We put a huge amount of care into the houses we build, but the story’s not finished until we match them up with the right people. So, once you’ve chosen a Miller home, we’ll do everything we can to make the rest of the process easy, even enjoyable. From the moment you make your decision until you’ve settled happily in, we’ll be there to help. 

 Miller Homes at Shawfair is part of a major initiative designed to allow an entirely new community to grow and flourish. Modern, high quality homes will be supported by new schools, leisure  facilities,shops, offices and extensive landscaped green spaces, ready to mature into a thriving place where people can live, learn, work and play. Its semi-rural setting brings an air of country  living to the edge of the capital, and its excellent transport links include a railway station and a network of foot and cycle paths. Adhering to the highest principles of sustainability as well as  relaxed, safe family living one of the Project Partners is the Edinburgh Centre for Carbon Innovation. Shawfair is not only the largest urban expansion programme to date in Edinburgh and Midlothian, it sets the  benchmark for premium quality residential planning.  

Miller Homes at Shawfair is within walking distance of a pharmacy, newsagents, convenience store, post office and co-op food store. Recycling bins for glass, cans and textiles can be found in the  Co-op car park. Bars and family friendly restaurants in the local area include the Old Colliery, the buffetstyle Beijing Banquet and the Cockatoo Bar and Restaurant, with its conservatory dining room. 

Strategically located just over a mile from the City of Edinburgh Bypass and less than five miles from Princes Street, Danderhall has excellent bus and rail connections. Shawfair Station, a  pleasant ten minute walk from the development, is on the new Borders Railway line between Edinburgh Waverley and Tweedbank, with services roughly every half hour and a journey time of fifteen  minutes into the city centre. Sheriffhall Park and Ride, around fifteen minutes walk away, is served by Lothian Buses 33 and 49. Both of these services, as well as others linking Edinburgh with  towns in the Borders, stop less than half a mile from the development. Edinburgh Airport, the Forth road bridges, the M8 and the A1 can all be quickly reached via the City of Edinburgh Bypass. 

There is also a choice of bigger retail parks in easy reach. Dobbies shopping village includes the largest garden centre in Scotland, and the huge selection of high street names at Fort Kinnaird is accompanied by a choice of restaurants and a seven-screen Odeon cinema. Straiton Retail Park, quickly accessed via the City of Edinburgh Bypass, sits alongside Sainsbury, Asda and Ikea stores, and there is  another wide selection of shops at Cameron Toll.
