Occupying a commanding elevated position in Bo'ness, this substantial detached Victorian stone-built residence offers truly spectacular panoramic views across the Firth of Forth. This impressive property seamlessly blends period grandeur with thoughtful modern improvements, presenting a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful family home with exceptional potential. The current owners have undertaken expansive, sensitive restoration, including a brand new roof, fully refurbished sash and case windows, and updated electrical and heating systems. Throughout the property, a wealth of original Victorian features has been lovingly preserved, including exquisite Minton floor tiles, elegant cornicing, traditional woodwork, and working fireplaces. With the major structural work complete, the property now offers the perfect canvas for discerning purchasers to add their personal finishing touches. The property makes an immediate impression through its grand vestibule and hallway, adorned with original Minton tiling and dominated by a magnificent oak staircase that serves as the home's architectural centrepiece. The accommodation comprises four well-proportioned reception rooms, each with its own distinct character. The stunning drawing room commands attention with its bay window perfectly framing those mesmerising Forth views, complemented by ornate cornicing and an open baxi fireplace. The spacious dining room overlooks the garden and features a multifuel stove. A third reception room to the front capitalises on the elevated aspect, whilst the expansive kitchen is equipped with a traditional Rayburn stove and enjoys direct access to the garden through French doors. Completing this level is a fully upgraded shower room, a breakfast room retaining its tiled floor and original fireplace, a WC and an orangery. The first floor provides generous family accommodation with five bedrooms – four doubles and a single. Each room benefits from characterful period features, with the principal bedroom being particularly impressive.
