2 Bed Detached House For Sale

Our seller says:

"I bought the house as I loved the look of it. It has character with the old stone and slate. The central location was a big selling point too. I love the high ceilings of the downstairs and the unique alcoves.  I will miss the garden in the summer. This West facing sun trap gets the sun from the early afternoon right into the evening.  I like how close it is to the Bathgate hills/Beecraigs for cycling and walking. It's also only a five minute walk to various pubs and restaurants and a short walk to the train station."

Situated in the sought-after town of Bathgate, this charming property exudes character from the moment you arrive. The attractive stonework and double driveway create an inviting first impression, and as you step through the entrance vestibule into the hallway, the high ceilings immediately capture your attention, offering a welcoming sense of space. The hall is tastefully presented with neutral decor and warm, rustic wood-effect flooring, which seamlessly connects the living areas.

To the rear of the property, the living and dining room is a beautifully designed space. Its feature gas fire and original alcove add charm, while natural light streams in, creating a cosy yet open atmosphere. Flowing effortlessly from this room is the contemporary kitchen - a sleek, modern space designed with light grey gloss cabinetry that pairs effortlessly with the clean lines of its smooth worktops. An induction hob, oven, and hood are seamlessly integrated into the design, along with a built-in microwave, washing machine, fridge, and freezer. A breakfast bar adds a casual dining option, offering a convenient place for meals or a morning coffee. Natural light pours into the room through dual aspect windows, creating a bright, airy feel, while a door opens directly onto the garden, connecting the indoor and outdoor spaces. 

The front-facing double bedroom on the ground floor is both spacious and striking, with a recessed window and alcove adding a touch of elegance. Ample storage is provided with a built-in cupboard, and a handy hallway cupboard ensures additional space for practical needs. Ascending the plush-carpeted stairs, you’ll find a galleried landing that leads to a further double bedroom. With its dark green feature wall and front-facing aspect, this room offers a peaceful retreat. The upstairs bathroom, with velux window, is generously sized, with a bath and overhead shower, sink, WC, and yet another useful storage cupboard both here and in the upper hall.

Outside, the part-walled rear garden is a private sanctuary, enjoying a sunny westerly aspect that allows for sunlight throughout the day. A patio is perfect for outdoor dining, with a path beside the lawn aside a chipped area with planting, leading to a garden shed for storage. 

Extras included: All floor coverings, light fittings and blinds. Oven, hob, hood, integrated washing machine, fridge, freezer and microwave. Please note, no guarantees will be provided for these.
