Borland Cottage is a beautifully proportioned home set in a peaceful and private position amidst the gently rolling landscape of East Lothian. Located just outside the village of Humbie, the property enjoys an abundance of natural light, with elegant, well-balanced interiors that offer both comfort and character in equal measure.

Carefully maintained and thoughtfully upgraded over time, the house blends traditional charm with a soft, natural palette and generously sized rooms. The layout flows with ease, centred around a welcoming entrance hall that leads into a spacious kitchen/dining room - the true heart of the home. A bright conservatory opens onto the garden, while the sitting room offers a more intimate space for quiet evenings and winter fires.

The accommodation includes six double bedrooms across two levels, with a generous master suite on the ground floor, a versatile mezzanine level, and multiple bathrooms and utility spaces providing flexibility for family life or guests.

Outside, the property opens out into an attractive south-facing garden and a charming courtyard enclosed by traditional outbuildings. These include former stables, stores and a large garage, offering scope for a variety of uses including studio space, workshops or equestrian facilities. A small but captivating woodland lies just beyond the house - perfect for quiet walks, wildlife watching or seasonal gathering.

Offering space, light, and tranquillity in a setting of natural beauty, Borland Cottage is a rare find - a truly special home within easy reach of Edinburgh and the East Lothian coast.
