Burghmuir Farm, Linlithgow, West Lothian, EH49

Wonderful redevelopment opportunity in a prime location on the outskirts of Linlithgow

Description

Burghmuir Farm is a traditional steading with farmhouse, steading buildings and a former horsemill. The buildings are in a variety of conditions and are mainly of stone construction with either slate or pantile roofs. The buildings now require modernisation and renovation.

The site is mainly enclosed by a stone wall with section of field beyond. There is a variety of trees and shrubs within the boundary wall. To the front of the site is the farmhouse which has accommodation over two floors. Other buildings include an old accommodation block and garage which together create a courtyard next to the house. There are footprints of other buildings within the site as well as the Old Horse Mill and Threshing Barn. To the north west of the house is a large grassy area with the total site extending to approximately 1.44 acres. Access to the site is from the main road into Linlithgow.

The site could lend itself to a variety of uses and further development subject to local authority consents and planning permission.

Location

Burghmuir Farm lies in a rural setting on the fringes of Linlithgow. The easily accessible town centre has an excellent range of supermarkets, shops, leisure facilities and professional services. There are local primary and secondary schools. Private schooling can be found in Clifton Hall in Newbridge, with Edinburgh and Glasgow also offering a greater range of independent schools.

Linlithgow’s skyline is dominated by the historic Linlithgow Palace, which was the birthplace of both James V and Mary, Queen of Scots and is frequently referred to as Scotland’s finest surviving late medieval building. Linlithgow Loch and Palace is a conservation area and the wildlife of the loch mark it as a Site of Special Scientific Interest.

Junctions 3 and 4 of the M9 are each under 3 miles away and provide a quick link to Edinburgh Airport (12.5 miles) and on to the city centre, as well as providing easy access northbound to Stirling and Perth. The M8 for Glasgow is less than 10 miles to the south. The railway station in Linlithgow is 2 miles away and offers easy commuter services to both Edinburgh and Glasgow.
