Residential Development Opportunity, Philpstoun, Linlithgow EH49

*planning permission granted in Dec 2025*

Occupying a generous 0.44 acre plot on the edge of the semi‐rural village of Philpstoun, this traditional stone-built stable building presents a rare and highly desirable development opportunity in a peaceful, leafy setting. Full planning permission has now been granted for an impressive residential conversion, with the approved plans forming part of the sale.

Location:
The property sits just outside Philpstoun in West Lothian, approximately 3 miles from Linlithgow. The historic town offers a vibrant high street, a wide range of amenities, a mainline railway station with direct services to Edinburgh and Glasgow, and one of Scotland’s top-performing secondary schools.

Description:
Dating from the early 1850s, the subjects comprise a stone-built stable building originally serving Pardovan House. The structure now requires redevelopment. The unserviced plot extends to around 0.44 acres, stretching southwards from the building and currently laid to grass, interspersed with mature trees and established planting.

Planning Permission:
West Lothian Council has approved full planning consent for the conversion and alteration of the existing stable buildings to form a three-bedroom detached home with private garden and driveway (Ref: 0386/ful/25, approved 24/12/2025).

The approved plans include:
- A thoughtfully designed layout featuring three bedrooms (two with ensuites), generous living spaces, and a link building forming an entrance courtyard.
- A new garage and external store.
- High-quality materials including refurbished barn doors, new timber windows, black metal standing seam roofing, and areas of black timber cladding.
- Carefully considered landscaping and biodiversity enhancements
