Edington Fox Covert
Edington Fox Covert is an enchanting country home, peacefully positioned just a few miles from Chirnside and surrounded by Berwickshire stunning open landscape
The true heart of this special property lies outdoors. Set within approximately half an acre of beautifully established gardens, the grounds have been lovingly created to offer a wonderful balance of productivity and relaxation. Formal lawns flow into sheltered woodland areas, whilst thoughtfully positioned seating areas provide peaceful spots to enjoy the surroundings. For those keen on gardening or seeking a more self-sufficient lifestyle, the productive fruit and vegetable beds offer the opportunity to grow your own produce, with ample space for keeping chickens or further extending the gardens if desired.
Whether it’s a place to raise family, long summer evenings spent outdoors or simply enjoying the peace and privacy that this setting brings, Edington Fox Covert offers a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find.
Dating from the late 1800s, the house itself complements its surroundings perfectly, combining period character with the comforts expected of modern family living. Generously proportioned rooms and a flexible layout provide space to adapt as needs change, while thoughtful updates include a stylish contemporary kitchen with sleek high-gloss cabinetry and a beautifully refitted family bathroom.
The welcoming dining room and adjoining sitting room are the social heart of the home, each centred around a charming log-burning stove that creates a wonderfully cosy atmosphere. Linked by internal double doors, the rooms can be enjoyed separately or opened up for a more sociable, flowing layout. The sitting room, a later addition, benefits from a striking vaulted ceiling and enjoys delightful views across the gardens.
Upstairs, four bright and well-proportioned bedrooms each enjoy their own outlook over the gardens and surrounding countryside, whilst an additional shower room provides added convenience for family life.
For those working from home, a fully insulated office with its own independent access from the driveway offers an ideal workspace, providing welcome separation between home and work.
An additional feature of the property is the adjoining self-contained one-bedroom apartment. While entirely independent with its own private entrance, it offers valuable flexibility without imposing on the main house. The current owners have successfully operated it as an Airbnb, although it is equally suited to accommodating visiting family and friends, supporting multi-generational living, or simply providing adaptable space for changing needs. It also provides potential to adapt or reintegrate it into the main home in the future if desired.
