About this property
Burghmuir Farm is a traditional steading with farmhouse, steading buildings and a former horsemill. The buildings are in a variety of conditions and are mainly of stone construction with either slate or pantile roofs. The buildings now require modernisation and renovation.
The site is mainly enclosed by a stone wall with section of field beyond. There is a variety of trees and shrubs within the boundary wall. To the front of the site is the farmhouse which has accommodation over two floors. Other buildings include an old accommodation block and garage which together create a courtyard next to the house. There are footprints of other buildings within the site as well as the Old Horse Mill and Threshing Barn. To the north west of the house is a large grassy area with the total site extending to approximately 1.44 acres. Access to the site is from the main road into Linlithgow.
The site could lend itself to a variety of uses and further development subject to local authority consents and planning permission.
