This detached villa, Craig Darroch, is situated in an elevated position in Bo’ness and boasts impressive views over the River Forth and the Ochil Hills. Dating back to the early 1900s, this stone-built property retains many original features such as detailed cornicing, bay windows, and traditional sash-and-case windows. While rich in character, it presents an opportunity for renovation and modernization across its two principal floors and large attic space, which could enhance its value significantly.
On the ground floor, the entrance hallway leads to a spacious drawing room with an open fireplace and a bay window that captures stunning views. The dining room connects to an orangery and includes a wood-burning stove, creating a cozy atmosphere. The expansive kitchen features a traditional Rayburn stove and opens through French doors to the garden, while an adjacent breakfast room offers flexibility as a dining space or home office. A shower room and separate WC complete this level.
The grand staircase leads to five bedrooms on the first floor, with ample potential to transform the single bedroom into a home office if desired. The principal bedroom stands out with its spectacular views and could be further enhanced with modern fittings throughout. There is also a family bathroom on this level.
The second floor includes another bedroom and adjoining store room that could be converted into an en suite with appropriate consents.
Set within nearly half an acre of lush grounds that include various fruit trees and flower beds, there’s significant potential for development on the side plot subject to planning permissions. The ample gravel driveway provides multiple parking spaces alongside a large garage ideal for workshop or storage purposes.
Positioned in Bo'ness, this property enjoys convenient access to major transport links towards Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Stirling while being surrounded by cultural landmarks.
