Town house for sale in 37 Academy Place, Bathgate EH48

Our seller says:

"I was living in a small house on the edge of town and I moved to my townhouse in Academy Place as I wanted more living space and to be closer to the train station and town centre. I love the open plan kitchen, dining space and also the living room on the middle level. I will miss the garden room on the ground floor. I have this set up as a 'whisky room'. One of my favourite things to do in the area is walking in the Bathgate hills"
