Ben Property - Edinburgh - Ref: 34871728

Set in a peaceful rural location near the historic town of Linlithgow, this distinctive traditional stone farmhouse offers generous and highly versatile accommodation, combining period character with modern comforts. Surrounded by established gardens, mature trees, stone walls and open countryside, the property enjoys a wonderfully private setting while remaining conveniently placed for Linlithgow, Edinburgh, Glasgow and the wider central belt.



Swordie Mains has been thoughtfully renovated by a restoration architect, who also designed the property‘s distinctive interior features, creating a sympathetic balance between the character and proportions of the original farmhouse and the comforts of modern living. The property has also been newly redecorated throughout, presenting an attractive and refreshed home while retaining its individuality, charm and many delightful original quirks.

The ground floor provides a welcoming and flexible arrangement of living spaces, including a bright contemporary kitchen with a central island, generous dining and reception areas, and a particularly characterful sitting room with a wood-burning stove. A conservatory/sun room adjoining the front of the house provides an additional light-filled space from which to enjoy views across the gardens and surrounding countryside. Large windows and glazed areas throughout the accommodation bring an abundance of natural light into the house. Timber detailing, traditional proportions and carefully considered interior features further enhance the character of this distinctive home.

The bedroom accommodation is equally impressive, with a range of well-proportioned rooms offering flexibility for family living, guests, home working or hobbies. The principal bedroom occupies the room directly above the ground-floor sitting room and is an especially generous space, complemented by a substantial en-suite bathroom and a fitted mobility-aid lift, providing an excellent level of accessibility. A wonderfully unusual feature is the laundry chute running directly from the en-suite to the landing below, one of a number of charming and practical details that give the house its own unique character. Further bedrooms include rooms with attractive views, as well as characterful upper-floor spaces with sloping ceilings and roof windows.

Outside, the property benefits from extensive private gardens with lawns, mature planting, trees, hedging and traditional stonework, creating a peaceful and secluded environment. Useful outbuildings provide additional storage or workshop space, while the surrounding countryside offers an exceptional sense of space and privacy.

Ideally located close to Linlithgow, Swordie Mains represents a rare opportunity to rent a characterful and substantial country home that combines rural living, flexible accommodation and accessibility with excellent connections to the central belt. With its sensitive architect-led restoration, newly redecorated interiors, distinctive original features and peaceful surroundings, this is a truly individual home with a great deal to offer.
