Property description

An overwhelming semi-detached character property situated in the sweeping landscaped grounds of Kinneil House, a historic mansion house once the principal seat of the Hamilton family. This five bedroom cottage dates back to the late eighteenth century and would have housed essential workers employed by the Duke of Hamilton. A Grade B listed property, it is a fine example of Scottish vernacular architecture.  Remnants of the Antoine Wall are also close-by.

Although in need of refurbishment, this period property benefits from being situated on a large plot and has spacious rooms throughout.  The downstairs accommodation comprises of an entrance porch, rear hallway with WC, a sizable lounge with open fireplace, open plan kitchen/dining room with space for table and chairs, master bedroom with picture window and scope for adding an ensuite, and finally a cosy sitting room to the front elevation. 

Upstairs there are two double bedrooms with both having built-in wardrobe and a further single bedroom again built-in storage.  The family bathroom is also located on the first floor.  The extensive mature gardens are in need of maintenance, they do however benefit from not being overlooked.

This is a unique opportunity to purchase a stone built property on a desirable plot in west Bo’ness, and comes with a real opportunity to add significant value.  The property also benefits from having gas central heating throughout.  Viewing of this property is strongly advised so you can fall in love with its charm, a truly sensational building.
