2 bed semi-detached house for sale

Mill Road, Bathgate EH48

Set in the very heart of Bathgate, just moments from the High Street and well-served bus links, this beautifully refurbished two-bedroom semi-detached cottage on Mill Road offers the rare balance of central convenience and private outdoor space. Its kerb appeal is immediate: An enclosed, stone-chipped frontage provides a neat, welcoming approach, quietly hinting at the care and attention that continues inside.

A small entrance vestibule opens into a bright hallway, where ash-toned wood-effect flooring extends seamlessly towards the lounge, creating a sense of flow and cohesion from the moment you step through the door. Loft access above offers valuable storage, subtly enhancing the home’s practicality.

The lounge is generously proportioned, its high ceilings amplifying the natural light that pours through the large picture window. A bespoke media wall forms a striking focal point, anchored by a log burner set on a tiled hearth, an inviting backdrop for relaxed evenings and calm Sunday mornings alike. The room strikes that ideal blend of contemporary finish and period warmth, making it a space that instantly feels lived in and loved.

From here, the home opens into a stylish modern kitchen, thoughtfully upgraded in recent years. A range of light-grey high-gloss base and wall units offer both function and finesse, while integrated washing machine, keep the space sleek and uncluttered. There is space for an Aga and a full-sized American fridge/freezer stands ready for family life. Underfoot, tile-effect vinyl brings durability without sacrificing design. A rear door offers direct access to the garden, encouraging the ease of indoor-outdoor living during warmer months.

The two double bedrooms reflect the same sense of style and comfort. The principal bedroom, positioned to the front, features floor-to-ceiling fitted wardrobes that maximise storage while maintaining a clean, streamlined look. The second double bedroom enjoys a peaceful view across the rear garden, an outlook that feels unexpectedly private for such a central location. The shower room has been finished to a high standard, with sleek wet-wall panelling, black contemporary fixtures, a generous shower enclosure, and a vanity unit with inset sink and WC. It’s a refined, modern space with a calm, hotel-style feel.

Outside, the west-facing garden is a standout feature: Unusually large for this location and thoughtfully arranged to offer both openness and privacy. Part-walled and bordered by mature hedges, the garden provides two distinct seating areas and a generous patio, perfect for entertaining, quiet unwinding, or simple enjoyment of the afternoon sun.
