Meadowhead House comprises four principal reception rooms, five bedrooms and three bathrooms.

Offering great flexibility, it could be used as a granny/teenage annexe, studio, offices or gym/games room.
Outside is a stone-built double garage and brick-built garden buildings. The policies extend to about 1.92 acres and are a real feature. There are formal lawns, pond, planted borders, woodland, patio and walled garden area within the remains of the former steading. Meadowhead House is a spacious family home with lots of character and privacy. It is perfect for home-working couples, with fibreoptic broadband and two separate offices/studies. Those looking for a more sustainable lifestyle will find ample space for chickens/poultry and a kitchen garden. Commuters will find easy access to both Edinburgh and Glasgow by road and rail, and to the airport.


Meadowhead House is situated in a private position just outside West Calder, ideally located for easy access to Edinburgh, Glasgow, and the Central Belt.
The small village of Addiewell under a mile away has a newsagent/general store and a primary school. The railway station, less than 15-minutes' walk
from the house, has regular direct trains to Edinburgh (37 minutes) and Glasgow (55 minutes) for onward high-speed connections to London, and a
free car park. The larger village of West Calder two miles away has shops, cafes, post office, small supermarket, train station (with a faster, more
frequent service to Edinburgh/Glasgow, and a free station car park).
Livingston, the nearest town, has supermarkets, large shopping centre, designer outlet centre, multiplex cinema, swimming pool, hospital,
theatre, Deer Park golf and country club, and a country park. There are secondary schools in both West Calder and Livingston. Clifton Hall School
at Newbridge, 12 miles away, provides nursery, junior and secondary education. Edinburgh offers an excellent range of private schools and is only 20 miles away via the nearby M8 or the more scenic A71. Glasgow is a 40-minute drive.
The nearby Pentland Hills offer walking, mountain biking and horse trekking trails. There are a number of equestrian facilities close by. For the golfer
there is an 18-hole course at Harburn (4½ miles), Greenburn (5 miles), Deer Park Golf and Country Club (9 miles) and Dalmahoy (12 miles). Edinburgh Airport, only 16 miles away, has regular flights to London and a range of international destinations.
