5 bedroom detached house for sale

Our Sellers say:

"The location sold the house to us. We have a south facing garden which isn’t overlooked - perfect for our hot tub. This coupled with the size of the house was the selling point for us. The layout works well for a family. All the bedrooms are a good size and the second en suite is an added bonus. The garage conversion has given us extra space for our children to play. The purpose built office space has enabled us to work from home with ease, without compromising any of the bedrooms.

The kitchen is our favourite space with enough room for the family to be together whilst we make dinner. It’s also very light with the patio doors opening out into the south facing garden. Howatston Court is full of families and so we will miss the frequent trips to the park and cycling down the street with neighbours. On a sunny day, we enjoy walking around the village or cycling down to the Almond and stopping in at the Livingston Inn for a drink."
