Our Seller's say:
"We moved to Old School Court in 2021 as we loved the layout of the home. As first time buyers we didn’t want a home that was too big to handle but also big enough for us to host friends and family. The home was also in the perfect plot with a large south-west facing garden which we just happened to find out after reserving! The front-door parking was also a big draw for us as we have re-located from Edinburgh where spaces are limited! We love the area as it’s nice quiet street and we have been incredibly lucky with a good group of neighbours around us and in the street. The development is always bursting with events during Easter/Halloween/Christmas for kids and adults to get involved in if they want to so there is a community feeling. Being walking distance to both train stations (West Calder and Livingston South) means you aren’t too removed from city living. We love that our garden is south-west facing and we’re lucky to get the sunshine until 10pm at night during the summer. Having the living room to the back of the house with a direct door to the garden is also great as it means we have the advantage of indoor/outdoor living and it’s a great space when having friends and family over. We will miss the peacefuless of the house. It's the perfect space to switch off and relax but there is enough going on nearby to not feel too secluded. The garden will definitely be missed when we move but we also miss the main bedroom. You get the direct sunlight in the mornings and I’ll miss our recently fitted walk-in wardrobe. The 2nd bedroom is also nice space to either get ready for the day or to chill out. Whenever we fancy a treat we take a 10 minute drive to Fork & Field (we definitely recommend their Fajitas and Sunday roasts!) and also a good old chippy from Toninos both based in Mid Calder. It’s also handy being so close to Livingston Centre so we’ll do our shopping and grab some lunch there too. We like to go for big walks around the woods near Bellsquarry and in nearby Beecraigs."
