11, Birrell Gardens, Livingston, EH54 9LF

There are some homes that simply feel right from the moment you arrive, and 11 Birrell Gardens is one of them.

Set within one of Livingston’s most sought-after residential areas, this beautifully presented detached family home enjoys an enviable position with open green space and woodland walks right on the doorstep.

It is a location that offers something rather special - the convenience of a well-established family setting, combined with the feeling of having nature and the outdoors almost as an extension of your own garden.

From the attractive frontage, generous driveway and double garage to the beautifully maintained gardens and welcoming interior, this is a home that makes a wonderful first impression and continues to deliver as you move through it.

The front garden is laid to lawn, with a driveway providing parking for several cars and leading to the double garage, while the attractive frontage gives the property real kerb appeal.

Step through the front door and into the inviting hallway, where the sense of space, care and presentation immediately sets the tone for the rest of the home.

The front-facing lounge is a bright and welcoming room, with natural light flooding in through the bay window.

A gas fire with surround creates a lovely focal point, while the neutral decor, pretty feature paper and laminate flooring give the room an effortlessly comfortable feel.

It is a space that works beautifully for quieter evenings, relaxing with a film or simply enjoying a little time away from the busier parts of family life.

At the heart of the home is the impressive kitchen and dining space, a room designed as much for living as it is for cooking.

There is excellent space for a dining table and chairs, while the generous layout creates a natural place to gather, relax and unwind with family and friends.

The kitchen itself is stylish and well equipped, with an integrated Neff induction hob, Neff double oven, dishwasher and wine cooler, together with space for an American-style fridge freezer.

There is also lovely outlook across the garden, making this a room where you can enjoy both the practicality of everyday family life and the pleasure of having somewhere genuinely enjoyable to spend time.

From the kitchen, the home opens up further into the versatile family room, a wonderfully flexible space that could adapt to suit your lifestyle.

Perhaps a cosy snug, home office, gym, playroom or somewhere for the children to escape to - it is a room that gives the home another valuable layer of space and possibility.

Double doors lead through to the conservatory, where the garden once again becomes part of the view.

Filled with natural light, this is the kind of room that invites you to slow down - somewhere to settle with a good book, enjoy your morning coffee or simply sit and look out over the garden.

A room with a view, and one that can be enjoyed throughout the seasons. The utility room adds another practical element to the ground floor, with plenty of personality of its own.

A fabulous zebra-print feature wallpaper brings a playful touch to the space, while there is room for both washing machine and tumble dryer, along with useful pantry-style storage.

The utility room also provides direct access into the double garage, which benefits from power and lighting.

Completing the ground floor is a stylish cloakroom, finished with a crisp white WC and wash hand basin - a practical addition that is always welcome in a busy family home.

Upstairs, the feeling of space continues, with four beautifully presented bedrooms arranged from the central landing, together with the family bathroom.

The principal bedroom is a particularly impressive retreat.

Generously proportioned and beautifully styled, it features a walk-in wardrobe/dressing room as well as additional fitted mirror-fronted wardrobes, providing excellent storage.

The room has a calm and neutral feel, complemented by pretty feature paper to one wall, while the luxury of a private en suite adds another touch of comfort.

The en suite is finished in a contemporary style, with a stylish shower, WC and modern wall-hung vanity unit.

Bedroom two is another generous double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, neutral decor and laminate flooring, creating a bright and easy-to-style space.

Bedrooms three and four are equally appealing, both offering built-in storage and lovely views towards the garden, making them ideal bedrooms for children, guests or those needing a little extra space to work from home.

The family bathroom is elegant and beautifully maintained, with tiled walls and a classic three-piece white suite. It is a calm, practical space that complements the style of the rest of the home.

And then there is the garden. Outside, 11 Birrell Gardens really comes into its own.

The generous plot has been thoughtfully landscaped to create a private little haven, with paved and chipped areas, sections of lawn, raised beds and an established collection of trees and shrubs.

A leafy backdrop adds to the sense of privacy, while the outlook towards open green space and the nearby Bellsquarry trail gives this garden a wonderful connection with the surrounding landscape.

It is a garden made for summer days - somewhere for children to play, for family and friends to gather, for morning coffees in the sunshine and for long evenings outdoors.

There is space, privacy and plenty of opportunity to enjoy the garden in different ways, while the established planting gives it a mature and settled feel.

The position is undoubtedly one of the property's greatest assets.

Murieston has long been regarded as one of Livingston’s most desirable residential areas, and Birrell Gardens enjoys that particularly appealing combination of established surroundings, family-friendly living and access to green space.

With woodland walks and open countryside-style surroundings so close to home, there is a wonderful sense of having the best of both worlds.

Beautifully maintained, thoughtfully presented and offering an exceptional amount of accommodation, this is a home that feels ready for its next chapter.
