4 Bed Flat, Single Let, Bathgate, EH47 8RA £675,000

The kitchen is by Ekco Kitchens, and its modern, clean lines with matt off-white units and complementary light tones feel relaxing, whilst the standout design feature is the twin islands. These offer not only generous storage and worktop space but maintain an easy flow around the large space. A suite of integrated Siemens appliances include a wine fridge, full height fridge and freezer, double oven and microwave. For all it looks stunning, this is clearly not just a show kitchen it has been designed to make it effortless to cater for a busy family and social life and is the natural focal point for the home. The whole space is filled with natural light by day from three sets of bi-fold and patio doors which give access to a paved patio outside. The clean lines of the interior design throw the garden into full relief from every angle in the room, bringing the outdoors in. At dusk, it is cosy and atmospheric thanks to mood lighting and the warm flicker of a wall-mounted electric fire.

The living room is a large room with bay windows to the front and opening via double doors to the sun-room at the rear. A wonderful place to relax, it features a solid wood floor, and a fireplace fitted with an electric fire and stylish marble surround. There is a functional chimney so a wood-burning stove could be installed in this room if desired. On the other side of the front elevation, the formal sitting room features a stunning large pentagonal bay window, as well as a fireplace in this room too. Its an invaluable extra living or entertaining space, separate from the rest of the public rooms but not cut off from them thanks to the excellent design flow of the home.

Characterised by ample glazing throughout, along with sophisticated décor choices, the whole home feels light and open. There are plenty of storage areas, including very useful walk-in cupboards in the entrance hall, while a utility room off the kitchen keeps laundry appliances out of sight. A downstairs WC completes the ground floor accommodation, while the boarded loft space with lighting provides even more storage space. The solid wood Neville Johnson staircase, with clear balustrades in keeping with the light theme of the home, ascends to a softy carpeted landing around which four beautifully-presented bedrooms are arranged.

The master bedroom is at the front of the house and is an appropriately generous size, occupying too the architectural space created by the tower. This pentagonal bay window area gives the room the space and feeling of opulence that it deserves. There are built-in wardrobes along one wall, incorporating mirrored doors. The fully-tiled en-suite bathroom features a corner bath, and is accessed via a dressing area with built-in dressing table. Two further double bedrooms both benefit from en-suite shower rooms and built-in wardrobes. The fourth bedroom overlooks the rear garden and offers flexibility as a study or other workspace.

The family bathroom is a luxurious, statement room, recently refitted by Porcelanosa. Fully tiled, it includes a stylish free standing slipper bath, a large walk-in shower with rain showerhead, and underfloor heating.

The beautifully landscaped rear garden is fully fenced, offering a private haven for outdoors living and a safe space for children and pets to play. The flat lawn area is easy to maintain, and ideal for childrens play equipment. The attractive paved patio adjacent to the house is ideal for BBQs and al fresco dining. Facing west, the garden gets the sun from noon until sunset, and is perfect for spending long summer evenings outdoors. East Whitburn is a quiet and trouble-free neighbourhood, but for peace of mind there is an active alarm system and outdoors security lighting all round.
