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
Beautifully modernised period home with excellent space and garden in the heart of Mid Calder.
Formerly the Old Bakehouse, and nestled in the historic village of Mid Calder, this superb and unique period terraced home has been extensively renovated to an exceptional standard, offering immaculate accommodation over three levels.
The ground floor provides a welcoming living room to the front, complete with a fireplace and woodburning stove, creating a charming and comfortable space.
Across the hall is a further reception room, currently used as a home office but versatile in its use.
There is a bright and generously sized double bedroom on this level, currently utilised as a home gym, but offering excellent flexibility for a variety of uses; this room also enjoys direct access out to the garden.
Furthermore, there is a three-piece modern bathroom suite.
To the rear, the property opens into a truly impressive extension, thoughtfully created from what was formerly an outhouse, with the current owner seamlessly attaching it to the main house via a hallway with ceiling to floor windows.
This has resulted in a bright and expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, further complemented by a spacious utility room off the hallway.
This excellent open-plan space is further enhanced by a modern, high-specification kitchen, well equipped with integrated appliances, and is ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.
The living space is complete with glass French doors providing direct access to the rear garden, while a charming stable door from the kitchen provides additional ventilation and further access to the garden.
On the first floor are two double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefitting from its own modern en-suite shower room and a walk-in closet.
The second bedroom on this floor is also an excellent size and has a small room off it, offering a great opportunity to create an additional ensuite or alternatively use as a walk-in closet.
There is a further stylish and modern bathroom suite on this level, complete with both a shower and separate bath. The second (top) floor hosts two further double bedrooms and a WC.
Externally, the property boasts a beautiful and spacious landscaped south-facing garden, thoughtfully designed with a lawn, decked area, patio, an additional and thoughtfully designed seating area, and an enclosed barbecue space, creating a fantastic outdoor setting.
The property further benefits from a garage with two electric vehicle car chargers, access to a driveway through an electric gate, double glazing throughout, and gas central heating.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly special home in outstanding condition.
