Welcome to Rivendell
Centrally set, yet removed from the footfall of this vibrant commuter town of Linlithgow, the peace and privacy of Rivendell, accessed via a private driveway, comes as a welcome surprise.
Park up and admire the handsome stone façade of Rivendell, set upon a south facing mature garden plot, within easy walking of town centre and train station.
Meticulous attention has been paid to the recent building works, including the sourcing of stone from a quarry in north east England to geologically match the original cottage.
Ancient Origins
Make your way to the stone-built storm porch with an original tiled floor, a practical comfort to the home, whilst giving an excellent first impression. Steeped in history, Rivendell is a beautiful late Victorian cottage house, dating back to the 1890s, which has undergone a significant refurbishment to create a wonderful home fit for the growing family.
High ceilings instantly elevate this period home, as do the abundant period features on display throughout, with mention being given to numerous fireplaces, and original ornate cornicing in lounge and principal bedroom.
