High Street, Linlithgow EH49

Dating back to 1844 and originally a workshop, this exceptional two bedroom bungalow is a truly rare offering within the heart of historic Linlithgow. Quietly tucked away from the High Street, the property enjoys a wonderfully private setting while remaining just steps from the town’s shops, cafés and amenities.

Accessed via a discreet doorway on the High Street, a charming entrance leads through to a beautifully presented recently restored and painted close leading to a private courtyard shared with one neighbour. This peaceful space immediately offers a sense of seclusion that feels far removed from the bustle of the street beyond.

From first glance, the care and attention invested in this home is unmistakable. The exterior has been freshly painted and thoughtfully enhanced, with additional timber integrated into the original front door to increase both its presence and solidity while respecting the property’s historic character. The result is a clean, elegant façade that feels both welcoming and authentic.

Upon entering the home, you are greeted by the newly renovated kitchen, finished to an excellent standard. Solid wood zebrano worktops provide warmth and texture, complemented by neutral satin finished cabinetry and a striking Italian black satin tiles. Traditional limestone flooring runs through the space, featuring subtle fossil detailing that adds a unique and characterful touch. High ceilings immediately make an impression, enhancing the sense of space and reinforcing the home’s period origins.

To the right of the kitchen lies bedroom two which makes a great opportunity for a guest room. This is a comfortable double room, offering flexibility for use as a bedroom, home office or hobby space.

To the left, the layout flows seamlessly through to the dining area and onward into the living space. This open arrangement creates a natural sense of connection throughout the home while still allowing each area to feel defined. The high ceilings continue here, with Velux windows drawing in an abundance of natural light and further elevating the feeling of openness. The home has been freshly painted throughout, offering a calm and cohesive finish.

Leading off the living area is the family bathroom, styled with classic black and white checkerboard tiling and fitted with a newly installed double shower suite and a Sanitan toilet with large sink, blending traditional influence with modern practicality.

Also accessed from the rear of the lounge is bedroom one, a well proportioned double room featuring a built in cupboard and ample space for bedside tables either side of the bed. The room retains a quiet, restful atmosphere, well suited to the peaceful nature of the home.

One of the most impressive features of this property is the roof terrace.
