Location
The West Lothian town of Bathgate is located North of the M8 motorway, approximately five miles West of Livingston and twenty five miles West of Edinburgh. Bathgate has benefitted from an increased population due to the substantial residential development which has been undertaken at Wester Inch on the Southern side of the town. The railway station in the town was also relocated and parking provision considerably increased which has helped to increase the popularity of Bathgate as a commuter town.
The subjects themselves are situated on Whitburn Road and lie just to the Southwest of Bathgate’s main commercial pedestrian precinct of George Place and South Bridge Street. Whitburn Road itself is a busy thoroughfare linking the town of Bathgate with the town of Whitburn. The subjects lie within the centre of Bathgate with the street being mainly of a commercial nature in this section. Just opposite the property lies the Foundry retail park which includes many national operators for example Home Bargains, Iceland, B&M and Argos. Within the same parade and directly adjacent to the property lies a local beauty studio, with further local businesses operating in the vicinity.
