Ravensheugh

Ravensheugh is a new build development by national housebuilder Taylor Wimpey, located within the St Clements Wells masterplan in the village of Wallyford, East Lothian (EH21 8JU). The development offers a community of 149 high-quality two, three, and four-bedroom homes, designed for a range of buyers from first-time homeowners to growing families and commuters. The area is positioned to offer a semi-rural lifestyle with direct and rapid access to Edinburgh city centre. The final phase of new homes is currently released.

Property Details Ravensheugh features a selection of popular house types, currently comprising two-bedroom terraced, three-bedroom semi-detached and end-terrace, and four-bedroom detached houses. The price range for the available new build homes is from £249,995 to £422,000.

Specific examples from the current release include the two-bedroom mid-terrace ‘Andrew’ home, which offers approximately 727 sq ft of living space and is priced from £249,995, and the three-bedroom ‘Baxter’ semi-detached home priced from £277,000. Larger family homes, such as the four-bedroom detached ‘Hume DF’ with approximately 1427 sq ft, are available up to £422,000. The developer frequently offers incentives, which have included a 5% deposit contribution on selected plots, the 'Easymover' scheme to assist those with an existing property to sell, and the potential for mortgage rate reductions via the Own New Rate Reducer scheme. Purchasers are advised to confirm specific plot inclusions, such as integrated kitchen appliances and flooring packages, with the sales executive.

Location and Transport Links Ravensheugh offers excellent connectivity to the East Lothian coast and Edinburgh. Wallyford Train Station is a key transport hub for residents, providing a direct, average journey time of just 11 minutes (fastest at 10 minutes) to Edinburgh Waverley. Train tickets for this commuter route are available from approximately £4.80. The development also benefits from proximity to the A1 trunk road for motorists, offering easy access to the Edinburgh City Bypass and the M8 motorway network for travel towards Glasgow. A regular local public transport option is the 44 bus service, which runs to Edinburgh City Centre with a designated stop within a short walk of the site.

Local Amenities and Education Education provision is a central feature of the St Clements Wells masterplan. Ravensheugh is located close to both the modern Wallyford Primary School and the newly established Rosehill High School, which opened in August 2023 as part of the wider Wallyford Learning Campus. The local area is benefiting from regeneration, including plans approved for ten new commercial units on Masons Way, which could house services such as a convenience store, pharmacy, and coffee shop. For more extensive retail and leisure, the Fort Kinnaird Shopping Centre is close by, offering a range of high street retailers, restaurants, and an Odeon cinema. Locally, the nearby town of Musselburgh provides further amenities, including pubs and restaurants, and is home to the historic Musselburgh Racecourse.
