KEYS TO KNOW

Where is it: Cairnburn, Station Road, West Linton. What is it: A four-bedroomed country property, quietly located on the edge of the conservation village of West Linton with an easy commute of Edinburgh. Good points: Built in 2006 it has recently been upgraded and so makes for a luxury, lowmaintenance home, without the upkeep of an older house. The landscaped garden is beautifully laid out with terraces and flower beds and the views are rural. Bad points: As a new property, some might miss historic character. West Linton is not on the Borders railway. Price: Offers over £400,000. Contact: Rettie & Co on 0131 220 4160.
