Location

Set in a lovely rural location about 4 miles south of Linlithgow, Wester Drumcross is surrounded by open countryside with far reaching views, yet has the benefit of being close to excellent transport links for commuting to Edinburgh or Glasgow. The property is located next to Ravenscraig Woodland with a cairn dating from the bronze age and nearby Cairnpapple with noted Scottish monuments.

The nearby railway stations of Livingston and Uphall provide good commuter services. There is also a convenient tram stop at Ingliston Park & Ride and the property is extremely well placed for driving to both Edinburgh and Glasgow, via the A71 and M8/M9 and M90 motorway network.

The area is well served by local playgroups and nursery, primary and secondary schools. Nearby Livingston and Bathgate offer a wide range of services and amenities including extensive shopping facilities, supermarkets, restaurants, coffee shops and leisure facilities, including gyms and swimming pools, and also a multi-screen cinema. All the fee paying schools in Edinburgh are easily accessible, as Wester Drumcross is located only around 18 miles from the city centre.

Description

Wester Drumcross is a well presented country property combining traditional charm with modern luxury. Positioned amidst rolling farmland, the house enjoys peaceful uninterrupted views across the surrounding countryside yet local amenities are within easy reach.

The accommodation at Wester Drumcross is thoughtfully arranged and recently refurbished. The bright welcoming vestibule leads into the kitchen fitted with a Smallbone of Devises Wallnut and Chrome kitchen featuring granite worktops, a central island with breakfast bar and integrated appliances. Alongside is a generous dual-aspect sitting room, where large windows frame views of the gardens and a contemporary fireplace forms a striking focal point. The adjoining dining area offers an inviting space for entertaining. A bright home office with French doors opens directly to the garden, and a luxurious family bathroom, complete with a freestanding bath and walk-in shower completes the ground floor. On the first floor, the principal bedroom suite enjoys an en suite shower room and built in storage, while two further well-proportioned double bedrooms sit across the landing. In addition, a wonderful roof terrace is located off the landing with exceptional, far-reaching countryside views.   

In addition to the main house, the property includes a courtyard comprising a number of traditional steading outbuildings. At present these consist of stores, stables, garaging and a separate studio. Three proposed development plans for the use of the land and the outbuildings have been submitted to the council. The grounds of approximately 5.7 acres include paddocks which are perfect for equestrian or hobby livestock use.
