3 bed bungalow for sale

Glasgow Road, Bathgate EH48

Positioned on an expansive plot in one of Bathgate’s most central and well-connected addresses, this handsome double-fronted detached home is a rare offering - steeped in period elegance and set behind a manicured walled garden that hints at the charm within. Built in the 1940s, its Art Deco heritage is evident from the moment you arrive, with gentle curves, high ceilings, and generous proportions echoing a time when homes were crafted with style and substance.

The sweeping monobloc driveway offers parking for multiple vehicles and leads to a detached double garage, ideal for car enthusiasts or those seeking secure storage. Framed by a beautifully kept front lawn, the kerb appeal is undeniable: Refined, symmetrical, and quietly impressive.

Stepping into the reception hall, you’re met with architectural flourishes typical of the era, curved lines, decorative coving, and a natural flow that encourages exploration. Quality carpeting extends from the hallway into the principal rooms, adding warmth underfoot and softening the already calm and elegant palette.

The main lounge is a standout space, graciously proportioned and anchored by a feature fireplace that lends both character and comfort. A curved picture window draws natural light deep into the room while framing views across the front garden. The high ceilings and traditional coving elevate the atmosphere, while three beautiful stained glass porthole windows add a unique splash of colour and character, making it a perfect room for both entertaining and quiet relaxation.

To the opposite side of the hall, what is currently a second sitting room, could just as easily be styled as the primary bedroom or formal dining area. It mirrors the lounge in grandeur, again with a curved front window and a striking fireplace with marble insert and wood surround, a room that adapts to its owner’s needs, while always impressing with its timeless design.

At the heart of the home lies a well-appointed kitchen/diner, fitted with light oak cabinetry and crowned with rich granite worktops. Integrated appliances, including an oven, hob, and hood, blend seamlessly with ample space for a fridge/freezer and washing machine. An angled stainless steel sink beneath the window adds a touch of architectural flair, and there is plenty of room for a dining table, creating a warm, functional hub for everyday living. A door leads directly out to the rear garden, encouraging easy indoor-outdoor flow.

Two further bedrooms are set to the rear of the home, both generous doubles that overlook the tranquil garden. Bedroom two features a suite of fitted wardrobes and drawer units, while bedroom three is equipped with floor-to-ceiling wardrobes that stretch along one full wall - both rooms offering excellent storage without compromising space or serenity. The shower room has been modernised in a clean, timeless style, fully tiled and fitted with a large walk-in shower, WC, and wash hand basin, bringing a fresh and functional finish to this elegant home.

Outside, the rear garden is a private oasis, laid mainly to lawn and enclosed by mature trees and shrubs that frame the space in natural seclusion. A paved patio offers the perfect spot for summer dining or quiet morning coffee, while the generous plot size allows room to grow, whether that’s a kitchen garden, children’s play area, or simply more space to enjoy the outdoors.

Few homes offer this rare combination of character, proportion, and location. With its architectural grace, central Bathgate setting, and extensive grounds, this is a home that tells a story and invites its next chapter.

Extras: All floor coverings, blinds, light fittings and integrated appliances. Fridge Freezer and Washing Machine (please note no warranty or guarantee will be given)
