Avant Homes Scotland sales and marketing director Theresa Barbour said: “We’ve seen a great response since launching The Lane from buyers who are searching for outer city living but still wanting an abundance of local amenities nearby.
“The regeneration of the former Edmonstone House and Estate is an exciting development to be a part of and will provide much-needed, new-build housing on the outskirts of Edinburgh.”
