Two Spacious Upper Bedrooms – Each with Its Own Private Staircase
Situated on Station Road, Armadale, this exceptional three-bedroom detached cottage is a truly unique period home, offering an impressive level of accommodation, outstanding privacy and an abundance of original character.
Originally constructed in the 1920s as two individual cottages, the property now forms one substantial and wonderfully distinctive home. Generous traditional proportions are complemented by carefully considered modern improvements, while many of the original architectural features and charm have been retained.
Ideally positioned for everyday convenience, Armadale offers an abundance of local amenities, excellent schooling and superb transport connections. Armadale Railway Station provides excellent links throughout the central belt, while nearby road networks offer straightforward access towards Edinburgh, Glasgow and beyond.
Ground Floor:
Welcoming entrance vestibule leading into the property.
The home's unique original configuration provides hallway accommodation at either end, adding to its distinctive layout and character.
Impressive rear-facing lounge, flooded with natural light and featuring a working open fireplace, creating a warm and inviting focal point. A door provides direct access to the garden.
Spacious kitchen offering excellent workspace and storage, with access to the adjoining accommodation.
Separate dining room with beautiful historic recycled maple flooring and generous proportions, providing an excellent space for family dining and entertaining.
Practical separate utility room.
Generously proportioned ground-floor bedroom, providing excellent flexibility for family living, guests or those seeking predominantly single-level accommodation.
Separate ground-floor shower room.
Additional ground-floor family bathroom.
Upper Level:
Two spacious double bedrooms, each enjoying the character and proportions expected from a traditional period property.
Uniquely, the upper accommodation reflects the home's origins as two cottages, with each bedroom accessed by its own individual staircase at opposite ends of the property – a particularly distinctive feature of this fascinating home.
An abundance of useful storage space is available throughout the upper level.
Character & Specification:
Constructed during the 1920s using traditional Etna engineering brick, with insulated cavity walls and excellent thermal mass helping provide stable internal temperatures and heat retention.
High-performance bespoke timber sash and case windows by A. Sturrock & Son of Forfar have been installed at considerable expense, sympathetically retaining the traditional appearance of the property while providing the benefits of modern efficiency.
The sash windows incorporate Edinburgh hinges, allowing safe internal cleaning and providing first-floor fire escape functionality, together with drop restraint bars to the upper sashes for additional security.
Gas central heating is provided by a Worcester boiler, which has been recently serviced.
The property retains considerable original character, including its working open fireplace, additional solid-fuel fireplace and original chimneys, which remain vented to assist with natural humidity control.
External Features:
A particular highlight of the property is the mature and exceptionally private garden, which is beautifully established and wonderfully screened from neighbouring homes.
Extensive planting provides colour and seasonal interest, including lavender, azaleas and established flowering borders, alongside a productive fruit garden with raspberries and gooseberries.
A former vegetable garden offers excellent potential for reinstatement, while a grassed drying area and established planting throughout create a charming and practical outdoor space.
The orientation of the property makes excellent use of natural light, with the bedrooms and dining room enjoying morning sunshine, while the living room, kitchen, dining room and garden benefit from sunlight throughout much of the day.
