5 bed detached house for sale

James Young Road, Wester Inch, Bathgate EH48

Set on one of the most coveted addresses within the sought-after Wester Inch development, this distinguished five-bedroom detached residence on James Young Road embodies refined family living at its most impressive. Built by Charles Church and occupying a generous plot, this home exudes a sense of quality and stature from the moment you arrive, its handsome façade, multi-car driveway, and double garage offering a glimpse of the space and craftsmanship that awaits within.

Step inside, and you're welcomed by a grand open hallway, oak-finished staircase sweeping to the upper level, oak internal doors framing each room with elegance. Underfoot, plush carpet transitions seamlessly from the fitted entrance mat, while two built-in cupboards offer practical storage. A guest WC with a sleek two-piece suite sits discreetly off the hall, while double doors invite you through to the heart of the home. The main lounge is a warm, inviting space with views over the rear garden. A solid wood fireplace with marble inset becomes a natural focal point, while French doors allow light to spill in and create a fluid connection with the outdoor space. Adjacent lies a second reception room, equally serene, again with doors opening directly to the garden, offering versatility as a formal dining room, family playroom or home office.

The kitchen is a true culinary domain fitted with sleek cream high-gloss cabinetry, complementary worktops and integrated appliances including an induction hob, hood, oven, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. A composite sink with mixer tap, tiled flooring, and a breakfasting bar enhance both style and function, while a generous dining area completes the room. A separate utility space mirrors the kitchen’s finish and provides further storage, with direct access to the side garden for added convenience.

Upstairs, the space continues to impress. The principal suite is a striking feature - set above the double garage and bathed in light from French doors opening onto a Juliet balcony. Twin sliding wardrobes offer 'his and hers' storage, while the four-piece en-suite adds a touch of luxury with double shower, bath, WC, and wash basin, all beautifully part-tiled. Bedroom two, a spacious double to the rear, also enjoys its own en-suite shower room and built-in wardrobe, ideal for guests or growing teens.

Three further bedrooms offer flexible accommodation, one currently utilised as a study, while the others present double proportions. A large storage cupboard houses the water tank and offers access to a partially floored attic with ladder, adding to the home’s practical credentials.

Outside, the landscaped rear garden is a wonderful retreat, fully enclosed and predominantly laid to lawn with mature planting offering colour and privacy. A generous patio is perfect for al fresco dining and summer gatherings, while the chipped side garden ensures low-maintenance appeal and handy access.

Extras: All floor coverings, light fittings, blinds, integrated fridge/freezer, dishwasher, oven hob and hood and curtains downstairs.
