The Fairydean Lodge, as the name suggests, is a rare and magical proposition.  Enjoying a hilltop position overlooking Eddleston, by Peebles, this 3 bed detached property, enjoying the most idyllic situation, exudes charm and character as the quintessential country retreat.  Built in 2006 of timber frame construction, the interior has a distinctly Scandinavian feel to it, with an abundance of light and natural wood.  A spacious entrance hallway leads to a sitting room, three double bedrooms, one en-suite plus a family bathroom, utility room and large workshop. The open plan kitchen/dining/sunroom area with feature multi-fuel burning stove creates a contemporary and functional living space and views from the rear of the property, given its elevated position are simply stunning.  It should be noted that this property has the potential to be easily converted to comprise five bedrooms and was originally designed as such.

 

The Fairydean Lodge sits in just under one acre of garden secured by fencing and hedging.   Decking surrounds the property, with a stone patio area and planted borders to one side.  The garden has a natural woodland feel to it, akin to the surroundings, with mature trees and areas of mown lawn.

Area Insights

 

The Fairydean Lodge enjoys an elevated hilltop position, with requisite views, minutes from the village of Eddleston. Founded circa 1785, Eddleston Village is set where the Eddleston Water meets the Longcote Burn and the Dean Burn. Most of the central village, including three quaint old bridges fall within the local Conservation Area. The traditional Horseshoe Inn, central to the village, offers excellent dining and accommodation as a small hotel. The luxurious Cringletie Country House Hotel is also nearby, as is The Barony Castle Hotel with excellent leisure and spa facilities.

Peebles lies 10 minutes away by car. A thriving country town, Peebles has all the amenities one would expect with excellent independent retailers and service providers adding plenty to the mix. There are two national supermarkets in Peebles and some truly fantastic local suppliers such as Cocoa Black Chocolatiers, Forsyth’s of Peebles Butcher, Ross Dougal Fishmongers and Coltman’s Kitchen & Deli. There is a list of useful links below that might be of interest. Peebles also offers several medical practices, dentists, a library, art galleries and a museum. Schooling is well regarded in the immediate area with a choice of four Primary Schools and Peebles High School. Private schooling is available in Edinburgh and several of these schools offer bus services from Edinburgh to outlying areas.

The area around Peebles has many attractions to explore like the medieval stronghold of Neidpath Castle, Traquair House or the gardens of Kailzie or Dawyck. The area offers some fantastic sporting pursuits including cycling, bowls, curling, golf, hill walking and fishing on the River Tweed, arguably the most famous salmon river in the world. In general, the Borders provides excellent riding facilities with Kailzie Equestrian offering livery and excellent hacking opportunities. There are also a number of local point to points and the annual Peebles Beltane Week. Glentress, just outside Peebles is one of the 7 Stanes world class mountain bike venues, bringing the Tweed Love Festival to the area annually. The brand new Eddleston Water Path has just opened.  This scenic, multi-use pathway comprises a 6km route from Eddleston to Peebles, allowing people to walk, run, cycle or ride horses. 

 

The A703 offers swift and easy access up to Edinburgh and for those not wanting to negotiate the Edinburgh traffic there is a handy park and ride facility at Straiton. Edinburgh Airport is very easily accessed around the Edinburgh by-pass.
