Our seller says: 

"I was living in a small house on the edge of town and I moved to my townhouse in Academy Place as I wanted more living space and to be closer to the train station and town centre. I love the open plan kitchen, dining space and also the living room on the middle level. I will miss the garden room on the ground floor. I have this set up as a 'whisky room'. One of my favourite things to do in the area is walking in the Bathgate hills"

Centrally located in a picturesque setting with captivating views over the old academy and beyond, this beautifully presented terraced townhouse is a true gem. Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by a large monoblock driveway that accommodates up to four vehicles, leading to a garage partially converted into an office space (sold as seen due to the absence of a building warrant) and front door side storage.

Stepping inside, the main entrance features solid wood flooring that extends throughout the ground floor, enhancing the welcoming atmosphere. The upgraded WC boasts a new sink and vanity unit, while the brick-effect wall in the entrance hall adds a touch of character. Two convenient cupboards provide ample storage, one of which is shelved. The separate utility room, equipped with a combi boiler, base and wall units, and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, offers direct access to the garden. An additional sitting room or potential fourth bedroom features patio doors that open to a beautifully landscaped, south-facing garden. This private outdoor space, adorned with mature shrubs and plants, includes a lawn and a patio area, perfect for relaxation.

The entire first floor is dedicated to a spacious living area with an open-plan design that seamlessly integrates designated areas for the kitchen, dining, and living spaces. The living area is highlighted by patio doors with a Juliette balcony to the front and a contemporary fireplace. The dining area, with its tiled floor, offers views over the rear of the property. The contemporary white gloss kitchen is equipped with integrated NEFF appliances, including an oven, hob, hood, dishwasher, and fridge freezer. Another Juliette balcony to the rear and a feature brick wall, continued from the ground floor, add to the home's charm.

The second floor houses two double bedrooms and a single. The generous master bedroom, with its views over the old academy, includes his and hers wardrobes and an ensuite bathroom equipped with a double shower, fitted vanity unit, inset sink, and WC.  The main bathroom features a tiled floor, part-tiled walls, a mains shower over the bath, an inset sink vanity unit, and a WC.
