The Property:
As the arterial roads capillary off into peaceful leafy lanes, arrive in the semi-rural village of Westfield where Echobank is proudly positioned on a large corner plot, at the junction with Strathavon Terrace. There is a gated driveway providing ample parking space for one large car.
Nestled snugly between Bathgate and Linlithgow, and within easy travelling distance of Edinburgh; enjoy the best of both worlds, away from it all yet within easy reach of roads and transport links when duty calls.
Make your way to the stone-built storm porch, a practical comfort to the home, whilst giving an excellent first impression. Steeped in history, Echobank is a beautiful late Victorian semi-detached villa, dating back to the late 1890s. High ceilings instantly elevate this period home, as do the various period features on display throughout, with particular mention being given to the cornicing in the dining room.
Turning left upon entry to the lower level, seek sanctuary in the serene lounge, a formal space where light streams in through the broad window overlooking the front garden and the farmer’s fields beyond. The ultimate entertaining space, impress friends and acquaintances in this large, light room, with plenty of space for large items of furniture. Pour a drink and relax, listening to the crackles of the wood burning stove recessed into an open stone fireplace.
Continuing through, step into the family room or dining room. A sociable everyday room, it forms the ideal everyday hub of the home. Feast in formality and style, or cosy up and read a book, and enjoy the fine vista. Next door, there is a large bedroom which is currently used as a home gym.
Crisp, inviting and traditional in style, this wonderfully spacious kitchen offers wooden units providing plentiful storage space as well as integral appliances – a gorgeous ceramic sink adds a lovely finish touch. Plenty of windows provide views over the garden, drawing daylight through. The large utility room/rear porch with its stable door provide an ideal entrance on rainy days when returning home with the shopping.
Freshen up in the shower room, with sea blue harmonizing with the added contemporary edge of Metro ribbon tiles, nicely framing heritage style fixtures and fittings. In the morning, enjoy the powerful rainfall shower before starting the day.
Returning to the half landing, ascend to the upper floor. Currently accommodating two relaxing and soothing king-size bedrooms as well as a study area. The bedrooms to the front elevation offer a far-reaching vista over the local countryside.
