Property description
If you are looking for something that is practical yet different, this may be the one. Oozing charm and character, Mount Pleasant is one of just four cottages built in 1878 when Bo’ness was a thriving port.
With 8 rooms plus hall and cellar the options for arranging the accommodation to suit your needs are endless. There is a small low maintenance garden to the front, set with 2 holly trees and colourful bedding plants, the large tiered garden to the rear is also low maintenance and well laid out, the perfect place to soak up the sun whilst enjoying views to the forth. Plus garage and shared driveway.
The current internal set up is three public rooms plus kitchen-breakfasting room and utility. Upstairs there are two rooms used as bedrooms, a study and family bathroom. However it is easily possible to accommodate four or even five bedrooms (using the small study as a nursery). The main two bedrooms have window seats and built in storage.
Some of the notable features are the high ceilings with cornicing and ceiling roses downstairs and the balustrade to the staircase. The lounge has a fireplace with a gas fire but this could easily become a real fire again.
The kitchen is of a country style with lots of cupboards and workspace. The utility room has space for a washing machine, dryer and dish washer. The bathroom is large with a separate shower cubicle as well as bath.
High speed broad band service is available.
Bo’ness is very popular, especially with commuters. It combines a countryside location beside the Firth of Forth with easy access to Edinburgh, Stirling and Glasgow. There are convenient links to the M9 and the Central Belt road network. Linlithgow rail station and Edinburgh Airport are close by.
The surrounding area is rich in culture and history. There are excellent schools, health centres, shops, cinemas, swimming pools, golf courses, woodland parks and recreational opportunities. Bo’ness is a great place to live with its strong sense of community as reflected in the town's annual fair for children.
