EPC Rating - Band C

Presented to a very high standard, both indoors and outdoors there is plenty of space to grow into and for all the needs and accessories of family life, whether that's sports, hobbies, pets and even work or study from home. There are nature walks from the doorstep, while the central Scotland location and proximity to transport links means it's also ideal for travel to both Edinburgh and Glasgow for enjoyment of all that the cities have to offer.

In both the high quality finishes and the layout of the accommodation, 9 Saltcoats Gardens is a stylish modern home that has been designed to make it as easy as possible to keep busy family life flowing smoothly. A tiled front porch gives access to the entrance lobby, where you're immediately welcomed by the relaxing effect of light and space.


Double doors ahead invite you straight into what is without doubt the focal point of the home - the stunning open plan kitchen and family living space. This is a large, light-filled extension at the back of the house, a beautiful space where everyone can be together - without being on top of each other. Whether it's cooking, dining, homework, a quick breakfast, conversation, relaxing, it's where the family naturally congregates to spend most of their time. Three sets of bi-fold doors bring the outdoors in, with the garden and mature trees of the woodland beyond visible from all sides.



Decorated in contemporary grey and yellow, the large kitchen makes food preparation a dream, even on a party scale. All finished to an exceptionally high standard, everything has been thought of including task lighting, lots of work top and cupboard space, a central island and integrated appliances. It's open to the family living and dining areas, which open via bi-fold doors to the full width deck for a seamless transition between indoor and outdoors. There is also a laundry room, and a separate boot room which is tiled up to the dado rail for easy cleaning, and has a door to the back garden.Luxury Karndean flooring in oak throughout all of the ground floor is practical and stylish and gives a beautiful cohesion to the whole area.


Whilst the stunning open plan area is the heart of the home, and effortlessly accommodates parties and special occasions, there are two further separate rooms on the ground floor. These provide essential breakout spaces for when the house is full - for teens to hang out, for a quiet conversation, or those times when everyone wants to watch a different movie. One is the formal lounge with timeless white marble fire surround and mantlepiece. The other is currently being used as a toy room, and could equally be a study, games room or an extra guest bedroom. There is a handy downstairs WC too.

Carpeted stairs lead to the first floor, where a total of five bedrooms are arranged around a broad balcony style landing. An arched window on the landing adds interest and lights a cosy reading spot.
The master bedroom easily fits a king-sized bed, and benefits from double built-in wardrobes. The stylish monochrome en-suite has been recently refitted by the current owners. It is fully tiled with white gloss brick tiles, has double basins and a luxuriously large walk-in shower with rain shower head. Adjacent to the master bedroom, there is a single bedroom currently being used as a home office. It could be considered as part of the master suite and used as a dressing room; or is perfect for baby's first room close to the master bedroom.


There are three further double bedrooms, two of which enjoy the view over the mature trees at the rear of the property, and all have built-in storage. The fully tiled family bathroom has also been recently refitted and has an elegant free-standing bath, and a luxury waterproof mirror TV integrated into the tiled wall; toddler bath time is never a problem when you can put cartoons on!
In addition to the ample cupboard spaces, the loft is fully floored offering plenty of extra out-of-sight storage.


The garden is designed to be fully enjoyed in all seasons, both from inside, thanks to the generous use of glazing that brings the outdoors in; and to spend time outside. It has proved to be a well-used extension of the living and entertaining areas. The lawn is zero maintenance thanks to high quality artificial turf, which makes a clean and useable surface for children and pets all year round. The mature trees of the woodland directly behind provide the beauty and life of a natural backdrop, colour-changing with the seasons. You can truly enjoy the garden with very little time input required for maintenance. The lawn is flat, making it perfect for children's play equipment, while the sunken trampoline is included in the sale and provides endless, safe fun. A full width deck has lighting under the eaves to while away atmospheric evenings, and there is a separate fenced off BBQ area. A double garage and two sheds provide plenty of outdoors storage. 9 Saltcoats is a truly exceptional home, designed to be the very best for every member of a busy family to flourish. Along with the quiet, leafy environment and well-connected location, it's a hard-to-beat combination.
