Muir Road, Bathgate EH48

Characterful Main-Door Ground-Floor 2 Bed Flat Combining Period Detail With Contemporary Upgrades.

Muir Road is a characterful main-door ground-floor flat where original period detailing sits comfortably alongside a series of thoughtful modern upgrades. High ceilings, decorative cornicing, ceiling roses, Edinburgh presses and traditional features give the home a real sense of identity, while the upgraded kitchen and shower room bring a clean, contemporary finish.

The property is entered through its own private front door into an entrance vestibule, where original tiled flooring provides an immediate introduction to the period character within. A frosted glazed door opens into the main hallway, with its impressive ceiling height and attractive wood effect flooring creating a warm and inviting first impression.

The living room is particularly generous, providing ample space for both comfortable seating and a dining table and chairs. Feature wall panelling extends across three walls, bringing depth and character to the room, while an Edinburgh press and traditional fireplace with marble hearth provide attractive focal points. A recessed area with shelving and storage above makes clever use of the available space, and a rear-facing window draws in natural light.
Just off the living room, the kitchen has also been fully upgraded. Wood-effect flooring is complemented by a streamlined range of cabinetry, with bronze-toned handles and tap adding warmth to the design. There is space for a freestanding cooker, under-counter fridge/freezer and washing machine, making the room practical without compromising its clean finish.

A rear door from the kitchen leads directly to a small private courtyard area, with enough space for a bistro table and chairs – ideal for a morning coffee or sitting outside on warmer days. From here there is access to the communal rear garden, which is predominantly laid to lawn and also incorporates a decked seating area.

The wood effect flooring continues into the principal bedroom, shower room and second bedroom, helping the accommodation feel connected and cohesive.
Positioned to the front of the property, the main bedroom is an exceptionally generous double. A large picture window, framed by decorative wall panelling, allows plenty of natural light into the room, while the high ceiling is enhanced by a traditional ceiling rose and cornicing. An Edinburgh press adds another original detail and provides useful built-in storage. With its proportions and period features, this is a bedroom with genuine presence.

Bedroom two overlooks the rear and is currently arranged as a dressing room. Its flexible proportions would equally suit use as a single bedroom, nursery or dedicated home office, depending on the needs of the next owner.

The shower room has been fully upgraded with a contemporary finish that complements the traditional elements elsewhere in the home. Near full-height tiling is paired with black fittings, while a vanity unit with inset wash-hand basin provides practical storage. There is also a WC and an electric shower with rainfall-style shower head.

The property has undergone further improvements including full replastering and the installation of a damp-proof course, adding substance behind the cosmetic upgrades.

Extras: All floor coverings, blinds and free standing cooker.
