Full Description

Forming part of a historic, exclusive B-listed castle conversion close to Bathgate, this ground-floor apartment boasts a tranquil, rural location and enjoys two bedrooms, two reception rooms, and two bathrooms, plus access to beautiful, sprawling shared grounds and two allocated parking spaces.

Situated on the ground floor (with one bedroom on the first floor) of a prominent 15th-century, B-listed castle conversion, this beautifully presented two-bedroom apartment enjoys a wealth of characterful original features, accompanied by sympathetically modern touches and the airiness expected of such a property. Additionally, the apartment enjoys access to delightful shared grounds and has two allocated parking spaces.

An impressive shared entrance (shared with just one other property) leads to the apartment's front door, where you are welcomed inside by an airy, inviting hallway. At the end of the hall to the left, you step into an exceptionally bright and spacious living room. The room's soaring high ceiling (adorned with charming plasterwork and cornicing) and multiple windows (with working shutters) create an airy atmosphere, and endless furniture configurations are possible with a particularly spacious footprint, all arranged around a striking fireplace.

Across the hall in the kitchen, an arched ceiling with an exposed stone detail adds character and wood-styled cabinets are accompanied by sleek worktops and mosaic tiled splashbacks. Neatly incorporated within the kitchen are a Range cooker, an American-style fridge/freezer, a washing machine, and a dishwasher. Space is also provided for a casual seated dining area.

The apartment also boasts a formal dining room, enjoying similar airy proportions to the living room and providing ample space for a large dining table and chairs and additional furniture. The room is decorated in sumptuous deep red and features a charming fireplace and large twin sash-and-case windows with working shutters. It could also be utilised as a third bedroom, if desired.

The principal bedroom (as well as the bathroom and a separate WC) is accessed from a small internal hall leading off the main entrance hall. It is brightly lit by an impressive box window with triple windows, traditional panelled surrounds, and working shutters, and occupies a spacious footprint. The tastefully tiled bathroom adds a contemporary element to the home and comprises a bath with a shower attachment, a separate shower enclosure, a basin set into storage, a WC, and a chrome towel radiator.

Completing the accommodation on offer is a bedroom on the first floor, accessed via a set of stairs from the hall. The spacious double bedroom has the luxury of a stylish en-suite shower room, complete with a walk-in cubicle with a rainfall showerhead, and a WC-suite with vanity storage. The apartment is kept warm by a log-burning stove and remote-controlled electric heating.

Externally, the historic building is set in large, beautiful, mature grounds, with sprawling manicured lawns and tranquil wooded areas. The apartment also benefits from two allocated parking spaces.
