A substantial executive home, its one of only four houses in an exclusive development near the historic town of Linlithgow, within the catchment area of the sought-after local Academy. Linlithgow has a thriving traditional high street with excellent restaurants, wine bars and independent boutiques, and a lively calendar of social and cultural events. Nearby there is a golf course, Beecraigs Country Park and with nature on the doorstep, many other opportunities for outdoor leisure pursuits.

The vista of the Ochils across the Forth serves as a constant reminder of the beauty of this central Scotland location; a day in those hills, or the Trossachs, is a short drive from home while the buzz of the cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow is within easy reach via motorway and rail. Edinburgh airport, with national and internation flights, is just 11.5 miles away.

The luxuriously ample space on the ground floor comprises broadly two wings on either side of the central entrance area. On one side there are open plan casual family kitchen, dining and living areas; on the other side the more a formal layout with separate lounge and dining rooms. A fully thought-out garden space with a luxury garden cabin, and a series of auxiliary rooms, means Ochilview offers everything you need relax, work, exercise, play, party and more.

Step through the arched double front door and into the porch, where marquetry flooring is a design touch that hints at the luxurious intent of this home. The space immediately opens into an entrance hall that extends up to the full height of the second floor ceiling, creating a bright and airy entrance on a grand scale. Feature windows made up of individual squares are arranged vertically the full height of the two floors, and stunning light fittings take over the illumination when the sun fades. You immediately feel welcomed and refreshed by the space and the crisp white walls. This décor forms the backdrop to every room in the home, giving a beautiful, simple cohesion to the different areas.

The formal lounge is bathed in light from windows on three sides. Sit back with a dram and conversation beside the stone fireplace here, regardless of whats going on in the rest of the house; or push the furniture back and turn the music up, theres plenty of space to dance on the wooden floor here.



The separate dining room faces the rear garden and opens onto a deck via bi-fold doors. A section of the deck is sheltered veranda-style and surfaced with the same grey slate floor tiles as the dining room, so when the doors are thrown fully open it blends into one and flows seamlessly into the garden. With the secluded rear garden facing onto the field behind the house, there is total peace and privacy here. A further room in this wing, currently used as a TV room, would work equally well as a games room, library, study, music room, or even extra guest accommodation.

The accommodation transitions to a more casual layout in the north wing via a short passage which incorporates a bathroom, and plenty of walk-in storage cupboards for coats, shoes and sports equipment, keeping all the accessories of busy family life neatly organised and out of sight. This area is all open plan and has a distinctly relaxed feel. It comprises the kitchen, breakfast room and family room, all of which are very generously sized. There are no doors dividing the rooms here; this is where you prepare food together, relax and share time at the end of the day. The breakfast room overlooks the front of the house as the sun rises in the morning, while the family room has full height patio doors opening onto another deck in the back garden.


These areas flow through to the kitchen which is fitted with gloss white units and a large central island. The luxury of space allows for people to hang out in the kitchen whilst there is still plenty of room at the cooking end of the island, with its Elica induction extractor hob - an appliance of choice for those serious about food preparation and easy cleanup. A Neff oven and microwave are integrated, as is the dishwasher and fridge.


From the master bedroom upstairs, enjoy the peaceful vista of the Ochils that gives the home its name. The master suite has a large bathroom and walk-in wardrobes, and a smaller bedroom in this wing currently serves as a dressing room for the master suite. Each of the other three double bedrooms has different characteristics. Two have en-suites with dramatic black gloss walls and large showers, and all have built-in storage.

In true dedication to party facilities the current owners installed a stunning, luxury garden room. It includes a lounge with bar, a bathroom, and a further separate room. It has a covered veranda, with hot tub. While it could be used for many things, including a studio-based business, it has proved to be a fantastic space for large parties. A typically unique and fun Ochilview touch, there is a putting green in the garden a wonderful way to spend quality time together outdoors, not to mention improving your game!


The garden surrounds the house on three sides and is designed to be enjoyed all year round. Catching the afternoon and evening sun, the decks are perfect for outdoors dining, while mature plantings soften the back fence. The field to the rear is included in the sale, offering total privacy at the rear of the property.



Copious storage spaces are discretely incorporated in every area of the house. Whatever your familys hobbies, sports or holiday gear, it can all be neatly and effortlessly stored and organised for easy access. Even the loft is partially floored and could be used for more storage, or converted into another room. In the laundry adjacent to the kitchen, besides the appliances there is a wine fridge which is included in the sale, plenty of cupboards and space where the current owners have an additional fridge/freezer, making bulk buying or party-food planning a breeze. The homes integrated garage has been converted into a gym, with a bright light-filled office above it.
