Monarchs Way, West Calder, EH55 8RZ

Our Seller Says:

"We bought the the house for the the view! On a winters day, the field behind us is crisp with frost and in the summer, it's a beautiful warm sight to behold. We've had some of the best sunsets I've ever seen that you can watch from the comfort of your own garden with no one overlooking you. We love the space, it's open! Having the kitchen and dining area span the entire back of the house gives me space to make dinner whilst the little one plays, it's the best of both worlds. Our favourite room is The Livingroom. Compared to the open space at the back of the house, I love that the Livingroom is its own separate family area, big beautiful window at the front, letting in lots of natural light during the day, then at night, you close the blinds & draw the curtains and you have a cosy area to enjoy the evenings. With the way that the house is situated, there are no neighbouring properties that look in the living room, it feels very private. We will miss all the storage. We've kitted out all the spaces we could for our expanding family and all the accompaniments that come with that. Our favourite local takeaway is Mr HE. Some of the tastiest Chinese food I've had in ages. Restaurant wise, Harburn Golf club is top notch and having The Centre in Livingston a 10-minute drive away gives you everything you could possibly need on your doorstep."
