Barratt @ Bangour Village

Development Overview

Barratt @ Bangour Village is a new build homes development by Barratt Homes, offering a selection of 3, 4, and 5 bedroom properties within the wider Bangour Village Estate in Wester Dechmont, West Lothian (EH52 6LL). The development is situated within 215 acres of mature woodland, creating a secluded setting while maintaining excellent connectivity to the central belt of Scotland. As part of Barratt Developments PLC, the builder operates with a strong track record, having achieved the maximum 5-Star rating in the Home Builders Federation (HBF) customer satisfaction survey for a record-extending fifteen consecutive years.

Property Details

The development comprises a mix of semi-detached and detached house types designed to offer modern, energy-efficient family living. Available properties typically include 3, 4, and 5 bedroom configurations. House types, such as the four-bedroom detached Balloch and the five-bedroom Ballathie, feature practical layouts with a spacious front-facing lounge and an open-plan kitchen/dining/family area, often including a utility room and French doors leading to the rear garden.

A key practical feature across the wider Bangour Village Estate is its commitment to sustainability and reduced running costs. Homes are built to be highly thermally efficient, utilising argon-filled double-glazing. Furthermore, the estate will operate without gas boilers, incorporating a low-carbon District Heating System, along with Solar Panels and Battery Storage systems, ensuring each residence is designed for optimal energy performance and reduced utility bills. All homes are designed with Electric Vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure.
