West Lothian home combines city centre accessibility with attractions of country living

Enjoying a delightful semi-rural location virtually midway between Kirknewton and East Calder, this stunning steading conversion is the ideal home for a growing family. Extending to around 2210 square feet, the property offers space inside and out. 

The house has been significantly upgraded by the current owners who have created a modern, energy-efficient home that is both functional and stylish. Solar panels, a Windhager biomass boiler and an ESSE wood burner in the lounge mean the property has maximum fuel efficiency. 

The large kitchen has granite worktops, Rangemaster stove/ induction hob and a fridge/freezer which are all included in the sale. Completing the ground floor of the home is a large dual-aspect living room with patio doors to the rear garden, an elegant dining room and a guest bathroom. 

Flexible space

Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, the master having Sharp fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room. There is also a traditional style family bathroom with shower. A huge attic with loft ladder currently provides excellent storage.
