Whiteside Farm Lane, Bathgate, EH48 2UL

Tucked within an attractive courtyard setting on the edge of Bathgate’s surrounding countryside, Whiteside Farm Lane presents a rare opportunity to enjoy the tranquillity of semi-rural living without sacrificing convenience. Just minutes from the town centre and everyday amenities, this beautifully presented three-bedroom home offers an enviable balance of modern comfort, characterful surroundings and thoughtfully designed living space.

From the moment you arrive, the setting creates an immediate sense of calm, with the charming courtyard approach and private frontage establishing a welcoming first impression. Internally, the home has been carefully styled throughout, with attractive ash-toned wood effect flooring flowing seamlessly from the entrance vestibule through the hallway and into the impressive open plan living space beyond, enhancing both the warmth and continuity of the interiors.

The entrance hall provides a practical built-in storage cupboard together with access to a contemporary downstairs WC, fitted with a sleek two-piece suite. To the rear of the ground floor, a versatile third bedroom offers flexibility as a guest room, home office or additional reception space, complete with wood flooring and a peaceful rear-facing outlook.

Undoubtedly the heart of the home is the spacious open plan lounge, kitchen and dining area, a superbly sociable space designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Clearly defined zones create a natural flow between relaxing, dining and cooking, while windows to the front aspect and patio doors leading directly to the courtyard allow natural light to pour through the room. The kitchen itself has been beautifully appointed with an extensive range of modern base and wall mounted units, complemented by contrasting work surfaces and distinctive red brick style splashback tiling, adding texture and personality to the space. Integrated appliances include an oven, hob, hood, fridge, freezer and dishwasher, while a dedicated cupboard discreetly houses the upgraded boiler.

A staircase rising from the lounge leads to the upper level, where the same tasteful flooring continues through a generous landing area. Full-length mirrored wardrobes stretch wall-to-wall within the hall, providing excellent additional storage while enhancing the sense of space and light. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive in size, benefiting from dual aspect windows which frame the surrounding outlook beautifully and allow daylight to flood the room throughout the day. A built-in cupboard further enhances practicality. The second bedroom is another spacious double, again enjoying dual aspect windows and a wonderfully bright and airy atmosphere.

Completing the accommodation is the newly upgraded bathroom, finished to an exceptional standard with a luxurious triple walk-in shower, contemporary WC and an elegant vanity unit with inset sink. Gold toned fittings introduce a sophisticated finish, while herringbone flooring adds a refined designer touch, creating a space that feels both stylish and indulgent.

Externally, the property continues to impress with a private front garden incorporating a decked seating area and lawn — an ideal setting for outdoor dining, morning coffee or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Parking is available directly to the front, in addition to convenient visitor parking for guests.

Extras: all floor coverings, light fittings, integrated appliances and shed. Other items are available by separate negotiation.
