- Beautifully Renovated Cottage Excellent Equestrian Opportunity Peaceful rural Location Approximately 5.5 Acres Studio Annex Versatile Outbuildings +
Nestled in the heart of the Scottish Borders countryside between the villages of Eccles and Birgham, Kingsrig Cottage offers an exceptional opportunity for equestrian enthusiasts or those seeking a rural lifestyle with scope for further development. This beautifully renovated three-bedroom cottage sits in an idyllic setting, about halfway between Kelso and Coldstream, and enjoys excellent access to local amenities, schools, and transport links, including the East Coast mainline at Berwick-upon-Tweed. With outstanding equestrian facilities, Kingsrig Cottage is a rare and exciting prospect.
The ground floor of the cottage offers bright, well-proportioned accommodation with a warm, welcoming feel. The newly refurbished dining kitchen and adjoining utility area form the heart of the home, combining modern convenience with traditional charm. A generous sitting room provides a cosy family space, while the ground floor also includes a third bedroom and a cloakroom with WC and basin. The former garage now forms a large studio with a shower room and would make an excellent office or self-contained annex (subject to necessary planning).
Upstairs, the property features two spacious double bedrooms and a modern family bathroom. Recent refurbishments include new internal doors and a sleek, contemporary bathroom suite with bath, overhead shower, WC, and basin. The upstairs accommodation has been thoughtfully modernised while retaining the cottages character.
Externally, Kingsrig Cottage truly comes into its own, with approximately 5.5 acres of land which can be divided into seven fenced paddocks. The property includes a well-maintained ménage and a traditional stone steading, featuring four stables, a shaving store, feed room, tack room, byre, workshop, and additional garage space. A covered pen offers ideal space for farrier work, rehab, or winter livestock care. With an EV charging point and 28 solar panels on the steading roof offering a Feed-in Tariff, the property combines rural charm with eco-conscious features, creating a rare and complete countryside package.
