Summary - THE SMIDDY, LINLITHGOW EH49 7LT
About 225m² (2,422 sq ft) of living space across four double bedrooms
A rare barn-conversion set on about an acre on the edge of historic Linlithgow, The Smiddy blends original 1840 stonework with a sympathetic 2012 conversion and recent redecoration. At roughly 225m² (2,422 sq ft) the house offers generous family accommodation: a triple-aspect living room, large country kitchen/diner, study, four double bedrooms and useful downstairs rooms that suit multi-generational living or home working. Large windows and skylights deliver strong natural light and uninterrupted countryside views.
The substantial detached wooden barn (≈30m²) with three garage doors, concrete floor, power and lighting gives real flexibility — workshop, studio, garaging or secure storage — while the extensive wrap-around garden, multiple patios and greenhouse will appeal to gardeners and families who want outdoor space. Practical benefits include off-street parking for several vehicles, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, and convenient commuting links to Edinburgh and Glasgow.
Buyers should note a few material points. Council Tax is in Band F and described as expensive. The wider local-area classification records very high deprivation, which may affect some services and community indicators. The barn will require routine maintenance if used intensively. The property is freehold and move-in ready but retains some period features (including a wood-burner flue running through the en-suite) that may need special-care maintenance.
Overall this is a sizeable, characterful family home in a peaceful countryside setting with strong schools access and flexible outbuildings — attractive to families seeking space, home working potential or a semi-rural lifestyle within commuting distance of major Scottish centres.
