Mill House, Parkley Craigs, Linlithgow, West Lothian, EH49

Detached family home on the edge of Linlithgow with spacious accommodation, mature garden and access to shared grazing

Description

Mill House is a detached period home set in a large plot on the outskirts of Linlithgow. The property is stone built and has a pantile roof as well as one slated section. The house mainly faces south and west and the views are uninterrupted across the surrounding fields. Parkley Craigs is a small hamlet of six houses and there is shared grazing of about 4.3 acres between residents.

To the front of the house is a generous driveway with access to the double garage. A path leads through the garden to the front door. Here there is a vestibule with a further door into the main hallway. Through double doors is the sitting room which has views over the garden and an open fireplace providing warmth in the winter months. Situated off the main hallway is a dining room and along from here is the kitchen. The kitchen is fitted with an AGA and is spacious enough for both a dining table and seating area. There is a further hallway with back door, utility room and access to the double garage.

On the ground floor there is a second cloakroom and two bedrooms, one of which has an en suite. The principal bedroom is up its own staircase and looks south over the garden. It has a walk in wardrobe as well as an en suite bathroom with a bath and shower.

There is a separate staircase to another two/three bedrooms which share a family bathroom. The third bedroom would make an excellent playroom if a sixth bedroom is not required.

Surrounding the house are wonderful gardens. Immediately around the property are paths and patios bordered by well kept and colourful flowerbeds which are planted with a variety of plants and shrubs. Being south and west facing the gardens get lots of sunlight throughout the day. The garden is enclosed by a low stone wall and there is a large lawn. A gate sits on the south side of the boundary and gives access out towards the shared paddock. The views from both the house and garden are far reaching across the fields and being a corner plot the house is extremely private.
