Description

A landmark Scottish Baronial mansion set in approximately 27.8 acres with four cottages and a delightful walled garden within its grounds. Cringletie House exceptional period detail and generously proportioned accommodation and situated a short distance from the picturesque town of Peebles.

Currently operating as a successful country hotel and hospitality business, this Grade B listed property retains all the warmth and architectural splendor of a grand retreat, presenting exceptional potential for either private domestic living or commercial use subject to necessary consents.

The estate dates back to 1666 under Sir Alexander Murray of Black Barony. In 1863, Brigadier General James Wolfe Murray commissioned renowned Scottish architect David Bryce to build the present mansion, incorporating signature Baronial elements like corner turrets and imposing proportions.

Transitioning to a celebrated hotel in the late 20th century, the mansion underwent a comprehensive heritage restoration in 2003 by architects Simpson & Brown. This project updated guest spaces, installed a lift, and created the custom Cringletie tartan featured on the grand staircase.

Along with the17th-century walled garden there are woodland trails and beautifully maintained specimen gardens and policies extending to circa 27.8 acres.
