Mains Farm Place, East Whitburn, EH47

This superb executive home effortlessly combines luxurious touches with design for practical family living. Located in a small exclusive development almost exactly half way between Edinburgh and Glasgow, it is in the very heart of central Scotland. Proximity to the M8 motorway, which links the two cities, makes it a perfect home from which to enjoy all that the cities have to offer. Finished to a high quality throughout, this 5-bedroom home benefits from the peace and privacy of a semi-rural setting whilst being within easy reach of recreational facilities not only of the cities but of the immediate area too. Standing in the centre of its corner plot and surrounded by garden and driveway, there is plenty of space both internally and externally. This is a home that works hard and plays hard.


EPC Rating - Band C

Beautifully illuminated throughout with natural light from morning to evening, the light is enhanced and complemented by an elegant palette of neutral, warm tones for the d?cor. Most of the public rooms have windows on two aspects, bringing the outdoors in and making the most of the open view. Light, welcoming and friendly, all rooms are generously sized, and ample built-in storage options make it easy to keep all the accoutrements of family life ? sports gear, seasonal items, or simply the everyday tide of accessories ? organised and out of sight, even with a full busy household.


From the sheltered exterior porch, the front door opens to a spacious welcoming vestibule with warm-toned floor tiles, and through to the large reception hall. This stunning central area of the home opens up to the first floor via a broad carpeted stairway, and also gives access to the main public spaces. The flooring is a practical and stylish engineered hardwood.

Double doors lead to the open plan kitchen and family room, where the morning sun fills the kitchen from the east-facing window. With its modern sleek light-coloured units, integrated appliances and granite worktops, the kitchen is everything you'd expect from a home designed for comfort and convenience. A discreet laundry area adjacent to the kitchen houses the washing and drying machines. The light floods through the open plan space into the adjacent family room. This is ideal for family breakfasts and lazy weekend mornings ? the current owners have furnished it with sofas and TV. The aspect is the countryside, and French doors give access from this room to the deck outside, further extending the casual living and dining space in the summer months.


As the day progresses, the light moves to the softly carpeted living room, where the generous proportions make a range of furniture configurations possible. A wood-burning stove is the focal point of this room, the natural flame adding instant homely warmth and making it a wonderful place for cosy evenings. A carpeted formal dining room adjacent to the kitchen, a convenient downstairs toilet and access to the garage complete the downstairs facilities.



The ground floor accommodation offers plenty of versatility. Each of the public rooms is linked to the others and has two doors, offering the option to close them off or keep it all open. The kitchen also gives access to the back door, a very practical arrangement for families.
The formal dining room has in the past been used as a games room, and located off the kitchen it would be perfect as a family room too.


A carpeted broad staircase leads to the first floor, where a balcony-style landing overlooking the reception hall carries the light, open appeal of the home upstairs too. A perfect spot for a feature chandelier, this area gives access to the five bedrooms, two with en-suite, and the main bathroom.

The king-sized master bedroom is stunning with French doors opening onto a balcony and a peaceful uninterrupted view over the countryside. The room comprises a large en-suite with a rainfall showerhead, and a walk-in wardrobe. There is a further king-sized bedroom, also with stylish en-suite and walk-in wardrobe, and three further double bedrooms, one of which is currently being used as a music and games room. Access to the loft space offers further storage.


A gravel drive leads from the decorative gates to a monoblocked area in front of the garage where there is parking for several vehicles. Wooden fencing, and a character stone wall along the public road side, make the garden a safe, secure area for pets and children. With lawn, paved areas and decking, it has been laid out for practicality and convenience, and is ready for family life. The flat plot and plenty of space offers potential to develop the exterior further to suit the lifestyle of its new owners.
