About this property

  • Ochilcoed is a wonderful stone built cottage with contemporary extension situated in rolling countryside just outside Linlithgow. The accommodation is well suited to modern day living with lots of open plan living space overlooking the garden. The front half of the property is the older stone cottage with its pitched slate roof and entrance hallway and beyond is a more modern extension overlooking the garden.

    The open plan kitchen /dining room and living room is very much the heart of the house and is separated by a few steps. The kitchen is equipped with a range of base units and there is a central island / breakfast bar as well as space for a dining table. In addition there are two doors leading to the garden from the dining area. The living room is up a few steps and overlooks the garden. Being west facing it gets plenty of afternoon light through the large floor to ceiling windows and the doors to the garden. There is a wood burning stove and stairs to the principal suite on the first floor. Adjacent to the kitchen is a cosy sitting room with wood burning stove which also acts as a link way to the ground floor shower room and bedroom 4. There are two further bedrooms on the ground floor which are serviced by a shower room. The first floor principal bedroom has lovely elevated views over the surrounding countryside and an en suite bathroom with shower.

    The garden is mainly laid to lawn and faces south and west and is bordered by a range of mature shrubs, trees and hedges. Closer to the house are an upper patio and lower decked terrace which are both ideal for outdoor dining. There is a path around the back of the house and some sheds which provide storage for garden equipment.
