Description
Four Acres is a large, detached home constructed in the late 1990s. It sits centrally within 4.8 acres of well-maintained garden grounds and offers spacious accommodation arranged over two floors. The property forms part of the West Lothian Crofting Scheme, which was developed in part to introduce low-density housing into rural settings, encouraging small businesses, equestrian use, sustainable lifestyles and woodland development. Now around 30 years old, Stoneheap has matured into a delightful hamlet with woodland walks right on the doorstep.

The property is approached via a gravel driveway flanked by lawns and set behind electric gates. The front door sits centrally on the building and opens into a large, light-filled hallway. The kitchen, located off the main hallway, has ample space for a dining table and is fitted with a range of modern base and wall-mounted units, a central island and bi-folding doors opening onto the rear deck area. Adjacent to the kitchen is a generous utility/boot room, ideal for storing outdoor clothing and footwear.

Beyond the kitchen is a large sitting room with a wood-burning stove, and overlooking the front garden is a wonderful sunroom. The main sitting room also features a raised area with space for a formal dining setting. On the other side of the house is a more informal sitting room, well suited for everyday use, with one section designed for relaxing and another that overlooks the garden. This space also includes a wood-burning stove and a door to the garden. Also on the ground floor are a home office and two en suite bedrooms.

On the first floor is a very generous principal suite, complete with dressing room, en suite and a balcony. There are a further three bedrooms and a large family bathroom, which includes a sauna. Above the garage is a substantial games room/gym with a store room located off it.

The grounds surrounding the house are beautifully presented and extend to about 4.8 acres. At the front is a large gravel driveway with access to the triple garage and workshop. To the rear of the house lies a spacious lawn, flanked by mature trees. The garden includes colourful flower beds, an area with raised beds and a greenhouse, and a timber deck running along the back of the house, which features a timber gazebo.
To the north of the house is a secure 3,600 sq ft general-purpose store, with two roller shutter doors and a concrete floor. In the past, it has been used for secure vehicle storage but could be used for a number of different purposes.

In addition to the garden grounds, there is a well-stocked orchard with various fruit trees and a paddock that has been used for grazing sheep.

Location
Stoneheap Crofts sits in a wonderful rural setting among a small community, equidistant between Glasgow and Edinburgh. The property is nestled on the west side of Bents, Stoneyburn, and within walking distance you will find well-stocked convenience stores, a pharmacy, post office, hairdresser, and other local amenities. Larger stores such as Tesco and Morrisons can be found in Bathgate, while Sainsbury's and Asda are a short drive away in Livingston. A wide range of restaurants, bars and cafés are available in both towns, with Livingston also boasting the Designer Outlet and Elements shopping centres, which include an M&S Foodhall and a cinema. West Calder offers additional shops, cafés and services on its main street, along with the tourist attraction of Five Sisters Zoo. The Gyle Shopping Centre (20 miles away), on the western edge of Edinburgh, also offers excellent shopping, services and restaurants.

The Pentland Hills rise to the south, providing excellent walking and fishing opportunities in various lochs and reservoirs. Harburn boasts a well-regarded 18-hole golf course, with additional courses located at Bathgate, Greenburn at Fauldhouse. About 14 miles away is the championship course at Dalmahoy. Locally, there is a wide variety of paths and woodland walks suitable for pony trekking and hiking.

Primary schooling is available in Stoneyburn, with secondary school options in Whitburn. The independent Clifton Hall School near Newbridge (14.3 miles away) offers nursery, junior and senior education. An excellent range of private schools is available in Edinburgh, including Cargilfield Prep School, St George’s School for Girls, Fettes College, Merchiston Castle School, and The Edinburgh Academy. Stewart’s Melville College, Mary Erskine’s School, and George Watson’s College also run direct bus services from Livingston South railway station and Bathgate.

The property is extremely commutable, benefiting from first-class accessibility to both Edinburgh and Glasgow. Junction 4 of the M8, linking the two cities, is less than 3.5 miles away. The A70 and A71 offer alternative, more scenic routes into Edinburgh. Edinburgh Airport is also conveniently located on the west side of the city.
