Tucked away in the peaceful surroundings of West Calder, Monarch’s Walk by Walker Group, part of the Springfield Group, offers a modern take on family living. With the launch of the new four-bedroom Canterbury show home, visitors can now experience first-hand how thoughtful design, comfort and style combine to create a home that’s as practical as it is beautiful. Set amidst rolling countryside, West Calder enjoys a real sense of space and tranquillity yet remains perfectly placed for everyday convenience. It’s just a short drive from Livingston, with its extensive shopping, dining and leisure options, and within easy commuting distance of both Edinburgh and Glasgow. Excellent transport links, local schools, and amenities make it a location that appeals to growing families and those seeking a calmer pace of life without losing connection to the city. The four-bedroom Canterbury show home demonstrates how clever design can make everyday living effortless. From the moment you step inside, there’s a clear sense of flow and functionality. A bright, welcoming hallway leads to a separate lounge that sits at the front of the home – a calm retreat that’s perfect for cosy evenings, quiet reading, or family film nights. To the rear, the open-plan kitchen and dining area brings everyone together. Often considered the heart of the home, whether it’s breakfast on a busy weekday or weekend dinner with friends, this sociable space is designed to flex with your lifestyle. French doors open directly out to the garden, creating a seamless connection between indoors and out, and as turf is included, the garden is usable from day one. Upstairs, the thoughtful layout continues. Four generous bedrooms offer flexibility for a growing household, guest space or a dedicated home office. The main bedroom combines luxury and practicality with a sleek en-suite and built-in wardrobes, while the remaining bedrooms are light, open and easy to personalise. A contemporary family bathroom completes the upper level, designed with style and functionality in mind. Every space feels considered – bright, balanced and easy to live in day to day. Externally, the Canterbury is equally as striking. Its feature stone detailing and well-proportioned frontage give the home instant kerb appeal, while the rear turfed garden – complete with double-glazed French doors and a 1.8m timber fence for privacy – provides a peaceful outdoor haven. A practical block-paved driveway and external tap add the kind of finishing touches that make daily life easier. Amanda Berry, Senior Field Sales Manager, said: “There’s a real calmness to this home. You can really feel the light in every room, it’s bright and cosy at the same time, and it just works for how families live today. The flow between rooms makes it easy to picture yourself here, from busy mornings to quiet evenings. “Monarchs Walk is in a peaceful part of West Calder, and benefits from the best of both worlds – a countryside setting with excellent transport links, local schools and shops close by. It’s the balance of convenience and calm surroundings that continues to attract families to the development. “The Canterbury show home’s interiors strike a calm and contemporary note. Soft neutral tones, tactile textures and warm metallic accents create a sense of understated luxury. The kitchen is a real highlight, featuring integrated appliances, chrome downlights and under-unit lighting that combine to create a clean, modern look. Bathrooms and en-suites echo our high specification, with sleek chrome fittings and timeless tiling. Light flows easily from room to room, spaces feel natural to move through and every corner serves a purpose.” Monarch’s Walk is fast becoming one of West Lothian’s most sought-after new addresses. Beyond the individual homes, it’s a place where families can grow, neighbours connect, and a real sense of community is beginning to flourish. For those seeking a home that combines thoughtful design, timeless style and a location that supports a balanced way of life, the Canterbury at Monarch’s Walk offers exactly that – a home built for real families, with space to breathe and room to grow. The Canterbury show home is now open for viewings. Appointments can be booked directly with the sales team, and walk-ins are welcome. The sales office is open Thursday to Monday, 10am-4pm.
