Towerburn is a very well presented mansion house apartment, offering
beautifully proportioned, bright accommodation, situated in the
west wing of the most impressive Towerburn House, which dates from
1914, built in the Scots Baronial style. The property is set within
beautifully landscaped, generous grounds with a dramatic sweeping
driveway, and absolutely superb views over to Minto Crags, Fatlips
Castle and the surrounding grounds.
LOCATION
Towerburn is approximately one and a half miles from Denholm, which
lies some eight miles west of Jedburgh and is well situated for
easy access to the A68 and main Borders towns. The village benefits
from good amenities including a general store and a primary school,
with schools at secondary level available in either Jedburgh or
Hawick. The area is noted for its abundant fishing and other country
pursuits, with Minto Golf Course only a few minutes' drive away,
and the well know Abbeys Way Walk passing nearby.
