Vaucluse Place, Penicuik

Image of Vaucluse Place, Penicuik

Vaucluse Place is located off Jackson Street near to the centre of Penicuik. The dental surgery and Post Office are just 100 yards from the development. Banks and a good range of shops, including a supermarket, are within 200 yards and there is a choice of pubs and restaurants within 400 yards. The library is less than half a mile away.

Completed in 1992, Vaucluse Place consists of two houses and 20 flats. All properties are double glazed and have electric heating. The flats are fitted with door entry systems.

The communal landscaped areas are maintained by the Association.

Community Alarm System

There is an arrangement with the local council whereby tenants who consider that they are at risk may have their homes linked into this emergency care system.

Scheme Management and Maintenance

Vaucluse Place is managed from the Association's Edinburgh Housing Services Office, where the Maintenance Department is also based.

Applying for a House

If you would like to apply for a house, please make your application direct to our Housing Services Department in either our Edinburgh or Glasgow offices. Additionally, please apply to the Housing Department of your local council, with whom we have a nomination agreement.

Our turnover of tenancies is low so, regrettably, waiting lists do apply.

Rent and Service Charges

Rents and service charges are normally reviewed on an annual basis. Service charges cover various services such as landscaping and the replacement of equipment. All tenants receive a detailed Service Charge Statement every year.
