Main House

Works began in 2005 to transform Cairnfold House, by partially rebuilding and fully renovating it to create a superb family home with its own self-contained cottage. The original east wing where the kitchen is situated was demolished and rebuilt in 2006/07, with the cottage renovation taking place in 2010, followed by the studio apartment in 2012.

The main house's front door sits in the heart of the home overlooking the front courtyard. The snug and drawing room both have open fireplaces and sit off the entrance hall, along with a WC. Beyond the drawing room is the superb kitchen / family room. This has an attractive vaulted ceiling with exposed timber beams, windows on three aspects providing an abundance of light and patio doors leading out into the rear garden. Glass-fronted cabinets and granite surfaces sit atop the kitchen units which incorporate a double Belfast sink, while integrated appliances (predominantly Siemens) include a gas hob, two fridges, two freezers, double ovens, microwave and drinks fridge. A corridor from the kitchen leads to the dining room and the sun room beyond with doors out to the front garden. Also off the corridor is a ground floor bedroom with its own shower room, and a utility room. A door leads out to the courtyard.

A staircase in the entrance hall leads up to the first floor. The principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room. There are two further bedrooms and a family bathroom off the hallway.


Cottage and studio apartment

The self-contained cottage has a kitchen, sitting room with log burner, bedroom, bathroom and utility room. The latter has a door (currently blocked-off) connecting it to the main house's snug. This can allow the cottage to be integrated into the main house's accommodation if desired. It also has its own terrace garden.

The studio apartment sits above the tractor shed / garage and is approached by an external wooden staircase with balcony. It has an open-plan bedroom / living room with kitchenette, and a separate shower room.


Gardens, grazing paddocks and equestrian facilities

The overall acreage at Cairnfold House is about 30 acres, of which about 2.5 acres form the gardens and grounds that surround and encompass the house, stables and arena. The grazing ground extends to about 23.5 acres and there is a band of woodland to the east. The grazing ground is currently separated into six paddocks. A burn acts as the north, and part of the east boundary of the property, with the woodland running the entire length of the east boundary. There are two field shelters.

The timber-built stable courtyard sits a short walk away, to the south of the house. There are nine loose boxes, tack room and hay store. The rubber surface area sits adjacent, and is approximately 20 x 30 metres in size.

The house's principal garden sits to the rear and is surrounded by fully-stocked flowerbeds and mature trees, and there is a kitchen garden to the side. The garden passes to the east of the house and connects to the front where there is a lawned area with pond and path leading down to the stables. A generous gravelled parking area sits to the front of the house, along with an attractive courtyard garden with rockery flowerbeds and paved path up to the front door. Off the courtyard there is a door to the plant room and gym which also links into the integral garage. Adjacent, there is a greenhouse and large workshop / tractor garage.
