Property description
Immaculately-presented, two-bedroom, upper flat with an integral garage, within a converted and extended Victorian sandstone building in the picturesque waterfront village of Blackness. Refurbished to exacting standards, and beautifully-appointed throughout, this light and spacious, dual-aspect property overlooks the village square, with fine views over the River Forth to Fife. Internally, it consists of an entrance stairway and central hallway, living/dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, two double bedrooms, and a family bathroom. Retaining some fine traditional features, it benefits from extensive solid oak flooring, modern uPVC double glazing, gas central heating, excellent storage space, including an insulated loft, and TV and telephone points. There is an integral single garage, and ample, unrestricted on-street parking, both in the village square, and on the waterfront. The village of Blackness lies on the south shore of the River Forth, some 10 miles west of Edinburgh, 4 miles from Linlithgow (the nearest major shopping town), and just a short drive from the M9, making this an ideal commuting location. Famous for its 15th Century castle, and in close proximity to the historic House of Binns, it has a village kirk and a traditional inn, soon to re-open with a community shop as part of its offer. There are extensive beaches, a boating club with free berthing available to residents of Blackness, and immediate access to the pedestrian and cycle paths of the John Muir Way.
