Description
Beechmount is a spacious family home, with its origins dating back to the early 1900s. It enjoys a wonderful rural setting on the outskirts of Linlithgow, just two miles away.
Accommodation is arranged over two floors, with a centrally located hallway providing access to both ground and first-floor rooms. The sitting room is a superb space with views over the garden. Thanks to its triple-aspect, it is a light and bright room which in the colder months is warmed by a wood-fired stove. The sitting room connects to the dining room, which leads through to the kitchen.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of traditionally styled units. In addition to an integrated sink, there is a dishwasher and a range cooker. The adjacent utility room has a door out to the driveway, which serves as the property's everyday entrance. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a home office and a shower room.
Upstairs, there are five good-sized bedrooms. Four are situated in the main part of the property and share a family bathroom. The principal bedroom is located on the west side of the house and benefits from wonderful views over the fields. It also features an en suite shower room.
A driveway leads up to the garage and the back door of Beechmount, flanked on either side by well-kept lawns. The garden includes a variety of shrubs and trees, with a mature hedge on two sides. In addition to a greenhouse (Robinson Royale 8x10 ft) and colourful flowerbeds, there is a south-facing patio accessed via French doors from the sitting room.
Planning: Included in the sale are architects’ plans for a new garage with a self-contained one bedroom granny/student flat above. A pre-planning application is pending.
Broadband. The property benefits from ultrafast full fibre Gigabit internet (up to 1.6 Gbps).
