Fairnington Lodge, Kelso, TD5 8NT

Fairnington Lodge is an attractive four-bedroom former lodge set in an idyllic rural location, beautifully blending period charm with modern convenience. Dating back to the mid 1800s, this detached home has been thoughtfully extended to create bright, elegant accommodation, all within easy reach of the A68 and the nearby towns of St Boswells, Kelso, and Jedburgh. The property further benefits from uninterrupted views of Peniel Heugh and the Waterloo Monument, adding to its exceptional setting.

The ground floor is centred around a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area, featuring sleek cabinetry, integrated appliances, a Rangemaster cooker, and a walk-in pantry, perfect for both everyday family life and entertaining. A characterful sitting room, complete with exposed beams, dual-aspect windows, and a multi-fuel stove, provides a cosy retreat. A second versatile reception room opens directly onto the garden, offering flexibility as a home office, dining room, additional bedroom, or further sitting room. A utility room, WC, and boot room complete the ground floor and add to the practicality.

The first floor comprises four well-proportioned bedrooms, all enjoying open countryside views, including a principal bedroom with a luxurious en-suite featuring a bathtub and elegant brass fittings. A stylish family wet room serves the remaining rooms.

Set within approximately 0.5 acres, the wrap-around garden offers privacy and space in abundance. With well-kept lawns, a sunny decked terrace, vegetable beds, and a shed with lean-to housing an outdoor kitchen, it is perfectly suited to outdoor living. A range of outbuildings, including a garage and workshop, provide excellent storage and potential for hobbies or workspace.

Offering a sought-after rural lifestyle with modern comfort, Fairnington Lodge is a truly special home in the heart of the Borders.
