The cottage
A modern interpretation of a barn conversion, this architectural gem fits beautifully into its 18th Century farm yard. The original sandstone exterior hides a bright and crisp interior with huge windows framing the heather hills and woodland garden.
Beautifully designed, the light & airy double-height space takes on a Scandinavian feel through its muted use of colour and simple materials. Light floods through the windows with plained ash window seat and generous sheepskins. An open-plan space is thoughtfully divided through level changes, perforated screens and bespoke furniture.
Start your day with a hike into the heather-clad hills on your doorstep. Embrace slow-living with the wood-fired sauna (opening mid April 2022) hidden in the woodland garden - although shared, each cottage gets its own private time slots. Explore Edinburgh or curl up by the wood burning stove with a good book. Eastside is your perfect hideaway surrounded by our 3,000-acre hill farm.
Kitchen & livingroom
The open plan kitchen and living room are separated from the rest of the space by a wooden ash screen. The living room is on the lower level - small but perfectly formed with wood burning stove and window seat with lots of lovely sheepskins. The kitchen is on a slightly higher level, up a folded steel staircase. A sleek, bespoke handcrafted breakfast bar/ tv unit divides the space in two.
Bedroom & bathroom
Behind the ash screen is a cosy bed nook with the comfiest of double beds. Sink into crisp linen, woollen blankets and the softest pillows. Fall asleep in perfect comfort listening to the crackle of the stove and the wind in the trees.
The bathroom has white marble tiles and a rain shower. The polished concrete floor has underfloor heating throughout.
