Our Seller says:

"We bought the house in 2017 and it's been the perfect family house for our kids to grow up in. This was our first home together as a family, and gave us the rooms/space we needed. There are many reasons why we chose it. We liked the big bright rooms, with big pannelled windows throughout and lots of space for the kids to play and spend time together. It's in the nicest street in Bathgate close enough to walk into town but far enough out of town for it to be peaceful and quiet. There are also good schools nearby. We loved the easily maintained mature garden with lots of wildlife.

We have a Nest heating system, so no more coming back to a cold house, this can be controlled from your mobile phone switching your heating off and on as appropriate. The nest will also send a message if there is any sign of fire or smoke in the house, great when you have teenagers and cooking disasters. The sitting room is our favourite room, we have lots of memories spending time with our kids watching movies and generally spending time as a family. This is a lovely big bright space to relax. I love some of the detailing in this room, the coving is especially nice with big windows that let in lots of light.

We love to go for walks through the forest and round the nature pond that is situated at the back of the house, or 10mins to the cycle path for a longer walk. It's a lovely area for a walk and is a popular spot for dog walkers.

Our kids said: "We like the location of the house, ” “and Bathgate has lots of great take aways.” “We can walk to Starbucks or costa and meet our friends or cycle down the cycle path with our friends". "We like how our neighbours are friendly and always speak to us.” “There is more for us to do in Bathgate than other places in West Lothian.”
