The development is situated in Barnton some 4 miles to the north west of Edinburgh City Centre. Barnton is a small, affluent suburb of the capital and enjoys a reputation as one of the city’s most desirable locations. Lyle Court is situated on Barnton Grove, just off Barnton Junction and enjoys excellent transport links to the local area and into the City Centre. Local amenities and attractions are easily accessible, from the local shops and services adjacent to the development, including a small supermarket, post office, pharmacy, hairdresser and gift/coffee shop, to the beautiful walks and scenery offered on the nearby Cramond shoreline. Golf enthusiasts will also find the Royal Burgess Golfing Society nearby, one of the most prestigious golf clubs in Scotland, and just one of a multitude of clubs in the Edinburgh & Lothians area. Edinburgh itself is of course full of fantastic attractions, from the historic Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile, to the iconic modern Scottish Parliament building at Holyrood.
