Old Kirkstead is tucked away in the beautiful Yarrow Valley between Selkirk (16 miles) and Moffat (16 miles). It is accessed from the A708 through Kirkstead Farm steading and along 0.5 miles rough track.
This traditional stone shepherds cottage has been extended to provide a large contemporary kitchen with a spacious open plan living area and four bedrooms. There is a double bedroom with en-suite shower room, and a twin bedroom downstairs; and a further twin bedroom and king size bedroom upstairs. The bathroom is located downstairs, and has an over bath shower. The utility room has space for a dog bed as well as the washing machine and tumble drier.
Warmed by oil-fired central heating, Old Kirkstead is comfortable and cosy throughout the year.
The cottage is an ideal base for hill walkers, bird watchers, wildlife enthusiasts, or families who just want to get away from it all and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Well behaved dogs are welcome, however they must be kept on a lead as this is a working farm.
There is no broadband and limited mobile signal at Old Kirkstead although there is 4G a couple of miles down the valley.
This cottage is located in Selkirk. St Abbs & Eyemouth Voluntary Marine Reserve and St Mary's Loch reflect the area's natural beauty and area attractions include Waverley Line and Kailzie Gardens.
