Detached house for sale in Sheil Place, Calderwood, East Calder EH53

Our seller says:

"I wanted somewhere near the Gyle where I was working at the time, with good links to Edinburgh. It was also really nice that there are a good number of local amenities at East Calder and lovely walks on and around the Almondell country park. The downstairs study, which is my favourite room as I spend a lot of time here and lounge are a real highlight for me. As I work from home having that committed space has been really useful. The lounge has been redesigned to fit my rather large tv and is much better now than when I moved in. My favouite room is the study as I spend a lot of time here. I also like the bathroom and ensuite as they were fully replaced last year.

I will miss the size and space the house offers. The garden is nice for sitting out in, it's a real sun trap for most of the day. In the evening you can sit at the front if you wish. The Grapes is the local bistro pub. It's less than a 10 min walk from my house and serves great food and beverages. Sunday roasts sell out by around 3pm so you have been warned to get there promptly! I also do a lovely walk at lunch through Almondell Country Park which is 2.4 miles and takes in the river and wooded areas. I will really miss this when I move."
