29 Academy Place is a stunning, spacious and thoughtfully designed modern townhouse located in a quiet cul-de-sac in one of Bathgates best-loved developments. Inspired by the historic Bathgate Academy building, its a perfect location for family living in the heart of the local community. With 5 bedrooms and 3 public rooms, accommodation options are extremely flexible. Arranged over three floors, the design artfully uses the slope of the land for a truly appealing layout. There is plenty of scope here for everyone to have their own space whether for studying, working from home or relaxing. These rooms are complemented by wonderful family and entertaining spaces for the times when family and friends come together.


The ground floor discreetly houses the utility room the integrated double-garage and the separate laundry. There is careful attention to style and interior décor, even for this behind-the-scenes part of the home. The lead-lighted front door opens onto the black tiled hallway floor with grey walls. There is also a bedroom on this floor, and if peace and quiet are essential, this is the perfect room for an office or studio as its separate from the public rooms and other bedrooms in the house. There is a handy downstairs WC too. Heading up softly carpeted stairs, the first floor is the heart of the home. The large living room enjoys a stunning view from a double set of French doors, which open to Juliet balconies. The view takes in the historic academy building, the town of Bathgate, and on to the open countryside beyond, it gives a wonderful sense of history and grounding.


The kitchen is a very generous size, in keeping with the capacity of this home to accommodate friends and family. There are integrated appliances and ample space for food preparation and storage, all finished to a high standard. As striking and stylish as the rest of the house, black bench tops and black tiled flooring is contrasted with red glass splash backs. Patio doors slide open from the kitchen to give access to the external deck. This runs the full width of the home and is furnished with a matching low table and benches, ready to make the most of the garden. The access straight from the kitchen is perfect for carrying out food and drink refills. The separate dining room has in the past been used as a teenage hang-out and games room. Since the kitchen is large enough for a dining table, it frees this room up for other uses if required - another example of how flexible the layout is. There is also a bedroom on this floor, with built-in storage.


On the second floor, the stunning master bedroom has two dormer windows to the front, taking in the same beautiful view over Bathgate as the living room. Decorated with impeccable style too, it benefits from large built-in storage cupboards and an en-suite. Two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the top floor accommodation. Academy Place is truly at the heart of the community. The annual much-loved Bathgate Festival starts from here, and its a short walk to all the amenities of the town centre. The railway station is also within walking distance, with regular fast services to Edinburgh and Glasgow. Bathgate is bordered by beautiful countryside, with the Bathgate Hills close by offering nature walks, Beecraigs Country Park, and a rich heritage to explore.
