The sellers purchased the property for its spacious living area and potential for expansion, convenient train link to Edinburgh for work and leisure, proximity to Bathgate Academy for the kids, quiet cul-de-sac location with access to a footpath/cycle path, and privacy even with a large family. They have dedicated two rooms for their personal hobbies and enjoy spending time in the conservatory on sunny days, which provides a TV-free and mostly kid-free space for family gatherings.
