Calderwood

Close to the peaceful retreat of Almondell Country Park and a short walk from the shops and services of East Calder's traditional Main Street, this superb selection of contemporary, energy-efficient three, four and five-bedroom homes offers a rare combination of wide horizons, local character and great convenience.

Located just 20 minutes walk from East Calder, the Main Street shops include a convenience store and Post Office, a pharmacy and large Co-op and Tesco Express stores, alongside pubs, cafés, food takeaways, and other services. Livingston’s exceptional choice of shops and services includes the popular McArthur Glen Designer Outlet, a host of high street names at The Centre, and a choice of supermarkets, garden centres and other stores.

Complementing the delightful town centres of East Calder and nearby Mid Calder with its traditional pubs, the area has an outstanding diversity of open-air attractions. As well as the extensive Calder  Woods and riverside walks through Almondell and Calderwood Country Park, there is the world-class sculpture park at Jupiter Artland, the wonderful Five Sisters Zoo with almost 200 species of animals,  and many delightful parks and open spaces to explore. For indoor leisure and entertainment, Livingston’s amenities include theatre and music at the superb Howden Park Centre, film at the Vue multi-screen cinema, and swimming and fitness at Xcite Livingston, where there are pools, flumes and a Technogym.

East Calder Primary School and St Paul’s RC Primary School are both within walking distance of Calderwood, and both have nursery classes. After and pre-school care is available at Simply Play,  who can take children to both primary schools, and collect them afterwards. The development is in the catchment area for West Calder High School, which has recently moved into a new state-of-the-art building, and for St Margaret’s RC Academy. The large East Calder Medical Practice, offering a full range of general services as well as specialised clinics, is conveniently located less than a mile away, close to both the local dental surgery and the village pharmacy.
