Cottage for sale in West Calder EH55, 1 Bedroom

Mavor & Company are excited to present a charming one bedroom cottage in the rural village of Tarbrax. This property is ideal development opportunity for those looking for a quiet retreat to escape from the busy life of the city, yet it is only about 15 minutes’ drive away from the outskirts of Edinburgh.

Tarbrax is a small community that hosts sports and leisure facilities, a community café and a regular taxi bus to West Calder. It also benefits from its own Village Hall where frequent community events are held.

West Calder, Livingston, Lanark and Carnwath are only short drive from the property, which offer further local amenities including sports, shopping and leisure facilities, primary and secondary schools, medical centres and more. The recently rebuilt Auchengray Primary School is also nearby which offers further facilities for primary aged children.

West Calder offers a frequent train service to both Edinburgh and Glasgow.

This property is a fantastic development opportunity with potential to add a second bedroom and includes an exterior workshop/garage/studio building.

Hallway

The long hallway allows access to all rooms in the property. It hosts a built-in cupboard for extra storage as well as a hanging area for coats, shoes and bags. The electric meter is also based in the hallway.

Lounge

The large and spacious lounge area is perfect for relaxing, with a lovely multi-fuel stove being the main centre-point of the room. The stove provides the hot water and central heating to the property and is ventilated through the chimney head. Access can be gained to the upper floor by means of a pull down ladder, which is a floored and lined attic space. It is currently used for storage but certainly has the potential to be developed into a second bedroom which already hosts a Velux window, electricity with sockets along with one radiator. The lounge also has a pass-through window from the kitchen.

Kitchen

Upon entering the kitchen, there are two large windows which immediately brighten up the room. There is ample storage with built-in wall mounted and floor units. The kitchen also has space for under-worktop appliances. There is an electric cooker and 1 ½ bowl stainless steel sink.

Bedroom

The bedroom is a cosy, good-sized double room with carpet flooring and neutral décor. The bedroom overlooks the garden and further views.

Bathroom

The bathroom is partially-tiled with a three piece ivory suite and shower over the bath. The large frosted window allows plenty natural light into the room. This bathroom would benefit from being upgraded with more-modern furnishing.

Externally

This property is offering a very exciting opportunity with its external building. At the moment it is being used as a workshop, however it is perfectly built to become a small one-bedroom property. The building extends to 38 sq m over three rooms and hosts three phase electrics, concrete flooring and a wood burning stove and is fully double glazed. There is also grass and a small wood/coal store surrounding the workshop. With regards to the main property, there is a grass area with trees to the front of the property which is surrounded by wooden fencing and a small parking area to by the workshop.

This property must be viewed to be fully appreciated and to understand its real potential. It would make a beautiful first home or an investment property.
