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 presented, this spacious two-bedroom end-terrace villa offers a flexible layout, contemporary décor, gardens and a driveway, blending charming period features with quality modern finishes.
Forming part of an attractive stone-built period terrace, the property is set on a quiet side street in the heart of West Calder, West Lothian.
A generous entrance porch offers ample space for cloakwear, whilst also doubling as a bright sunroom enjoying westerly-facing natural light.
An ornate stained-glass entrance door opens into a welcoming hallway, providing access to the front-facing living room and the staircase.
Tastefully finished, the living room features elegant period cornicing, tall windows, a traditional press cupboard, and offers excellent flexibility as a potential third bedroom if required.
Hardwood flooring continues seamlessly into the versatile family room, complete with a charming period fireplace, a deep storage cupboard, a further press cupboard, and two pendant light fittings.
Open to this space is an impressive kitchen and dining room, where French patio doors open directly onto the rear garden, while three skylight windows flood the room with natural light.
The stylish kitchen is fitted with contemporary units and worktops, incorporating a full range of integrated appliances, all complemented by a striking slate-tiled feature wall.
Appliances include a five-ring gas hob, an eye-level double oven, a fridge/freezer, a washing machine and a dishwasher.
On the first floor, two good-sized carpeted double bedrooms are positioned to opposite aspects, with the front-facing principal bedroom benefiting from spotlighting and a built-in mirrored wardrobe.
Completing the accommodation, the spacious family bathroom is fitted with a contemporary three-piece suite, including a WC, a vanity unit with an inset wash hand basin, and a p-shaped bath with a rainfall shower over, tiled splashbacks, and spotlighting.
West Calder is a long-established village forming part of a cluster of residential communities to the south-west of Livingston, alongside Polbeth, Addiewell and Loganlee.

Nearby Livingston, the largest town in West Lothian, offers an extensive range of shopping and recreational facilities, including the renowned Livingston Centre and Livingston Designer Outlet, as well as local shops and supermarkets.
The area also provides an excellent choice of sports and leisure pursuits, with walking and cycle paths, parks, woodlands, swimming pools, golf courses, libraries, a multi-screen cinema and sports centres.
