Location
West Mains Crofts sits in a wonderful rural setting amongst a small community just outside West Calder. The Pentland Hills rise to the south, providing excellent walking and fishing opportunities in various lochs and reservoirs. Harburn boasts a well regarded 18 hole golf course and a busy calendar of local events hosted in the village hall.
The property benefits from the best of both town and country living, with Livingston's indoor retail park and major supermarkets about 6 miles away. West Calder offers a range of shops, cafés, and services on its main street, as well as the tourist attraction of Five Sisters Zoo. The town's train station provides a frequent service to both Edinburgh (approx 30 mins) and Glasgow (approx 50 mins).
Primary schooling is available at Bellsquarry or Parkhead, with secondary school options in Livingston or West Calder. The independent Clifton Hall School near Newbridge is 12.5 miles away and offers a nursery, junior and senior school. An excellent range of private schools is available in Edinburgh, including Cargilfield Prep School, St George's School for Girls, Fettes College, Merchiston and The Edinburgh Academy. Stewart's Melville College, Mary Erskine's School and George Watson's also have direct bus services from Livingston South railway station. The Gyle shopping centre (16.5 miles) is on the near side of Edinburgh and offers excellent shopping and a good range of services and restaurants.
The property is extremely commutable as it benefits from first class accessibility to both Edinburgh and Glasgow. Junction 4 of the M8, linking both cities, is less than 5 miles away. The A70 and A71 offer alternative, more scenic routes into Edinburgh. Edinburgh Airport is also on the near side of the city centre.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a bright and comfortable triple aspect sitting room which is ideal for entertaining. To the front of the house and next to a shower room are two bedrooms and off the hallway is a home office. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a good-sized utility room, shower room and plant room, with integral access into the double garage.

To the east end of the house is an annexe which has its own front door, but can also be accessed from the central garage.
