This substantial five-bedroom former manse sits on a generous corner plot in central Uphall, offering flexible living across two well-proportioned levels and approximately 3,320 sq ft of accommodation. The ground floor provides a bright sitting room, dining room, stylish fitted kitchen, utility, ground-floor bedroom with ensuite and useful storage; upstairs are four further double bedrooms, a study, walk-in wardrobe and two bathrooms. A floored attic adds more storage. The property benefits from a wood-burning stove and zone-controlled central heating.
Outside, sunny private gardens, a patio, oak-framed garage, garden room, workshop and a freestanding wood-fired sauna create strong family and entertaining appeal. Off-street parking is generous via a large driveway, and the house sits close to local amenities, primary schooling, golf course, Uphall station and commuter routes (M8/M9), making daily travel straightforward.
Practical considerations are clear: the home has a mix of timber single-glazed sash-and-case windows, uPVC double glazing and secondary glazing, so heat loss and refurbishment of older windows may be needed to improve efficiency. Council tax is described as quite expensive, and the wider area data flags high local deprivation levels — factors buyers should weigh alongside the house’s size and potential. Flood risk is low and the tenure is freehold.
This property will suit a growing family looking for generous, characterful accommodation with flexible spaces and scope to modernise. It also offers potential for buyers wanting substantial outdoor and outbuilding space, while accepting a programme of selective upgrading to maximise comfort and energy performance.
