We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Situated on Douglas Road in the popular village of East Calder, this impressive four-bedroom detached home was built in 2024 and offers the perfect opportunity to purchase a nearly new property in true walk-in condition.
Modern, fresh and ready to move into, the home provides a wonderful blank canvas for its next owners to add their own personal style and create a home tailored to their tastes.
The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged over two floors, offering spacious and versatile living space, including a welcoming living room, separate dining room and a fully fitted modern kitchen complete with integrated appliances and a gas hob.
Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms are complemented by a family bathroom and an en-suite to the principal bedroom, making this an ideal home for growing families or those seeking additional space to work from home.
Externally, the property benefits from a driveway to the front providing off-street parking, along with a single integral garage.
To the rear, a large, private garden offers an excellent space for outdoor entertaining, relaxing or enjoying family time.
East Calder is a popular West Lothian village offering a welcoming community atmosphere, local shops, cafés, pubs, medical and dental facilities, and primary schooling.
The nearby Almondell and Calderwood Country Park provides beautiful woodland walks and outdoor recreation, while Livingston is just a short drive away, offering extensive shopping, restaurants, leisure facilities and entertainment.
For commuters, the area benefits from convenient access to the A71 and M8 motorway network, with bus services connecting East Calder to surrounding towns and Edinburgh.
Nearby Kirknewton railway station provides rail connections to Edinburgh and Glasgow, making this an attractive location for those travelling across the Central Belt.
A fantastic opportunity to secure a modern, almost-new family home in a well-connected village setting.
