Property description & features
This stunning rural retreat has been transformed in recent years to provide a fantastic living space and offers well-proportioned contemporary accommodation and ample storage space throughout. Carefully designed to make the best possible use of natural light, The Doocot has a peaceful ambience and provides a bright and spacious environment with tasteful décor, engineered oak flooring and good quality timber doors. There is a generous, well appointed, modern fitted dining kitchen with integrated electric double oven, ceramic induction hob, extraction fan, dishwasher, and fridge freezer. The property also benefits from full double glazing, oil fired central heating and has a useful mezzanine/office which can be accessed from bedroom two. There is also an integral garage with utility facilities, and a well bound and beautifully maintained south facing garden which enjoys good levels of sunshine and provides a peaceful spot for alfresco dining.
Birgham is a popular border village in the beautiful rolling countryside with its own pub restaurant and offers tranquil living and a variety of riverside and countryside walks. Located approximately midway between the principal market town of Kelso & the charming border town of Coldstream, this small village is well placed to enjoy all the benefits increasingly associated with the Scottish Borders and Northumbrian Coastal countryside. The area also provides a good variety of outdoor pursuits such as the renowned salmon and sea trout fishing on the River Tweed and its tributaries, first class grouse, pheasant and partridge shooting, several local hunts and horse racing at Kelso, Musselburgh, and Newcastle.
Nestled in the heart of the Scottish Borders, Kelso (circa 5 miles) with its cobbled streets and bustling market square, is situated on the banks of the River Tweed and offers a comprehensive range of shops (local & national), two eighteen-hole golf courses and a National Hunt (jumping) horse racing track. The town also has good health care facilities, holds an abundance of community events, and hosts many clubs and activities. The larger town of Berwick upon Tweed (circa 15 miles) also offers a wide range of recreational and leisure facilities and has a railway station serving the east coast mainline with regular services to Edinburgh, Newcastle upon Tyne, and London. By road, Edinburgh is an hour to the north and Newcastle upon Tyne is a similar distance to the south.

Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
