<|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|> Here is a summary of the property description in a single paragraph: This derelict detached cottage in Dalkeith, Midlothian, is being sold by auction on May 1, 2025, and requires a full renovation. The property has been internally cleared out and is ready for refurbishment, but has been damaged by fire and is not suitable for habitation. Planning permission has been granted for the creation of a 3-bedroom cottage, and the current seller has undertaken a tree and bat survey and structural engineer's certificate. The property is located in a popular semi-rural area near the River North Esk, with nearby shops, pubs, and transport links, including a train station to Edinburgh city centre. The surrounding area offers beautiful natural scenery, parks, and leisure facilities, and the property is likely to appeal to a shrewd investor or builder looking for a project.
