Fernlea is a substantial and surprising large, detached property occupying a quiet position within a highly regarded, quiet cul-de-sac with stunning views right across Jedburgh and beyond to the surrounding countryside. The House has been thoughtfully extended to the rear to provide a large garden room with patio doors and a Master Bedroom with Ensuite facility which would make a super 'Granny Annexe' if required and is in fact very useful should the remaining bedrooms be used for Bed & Breakfast. Formerly a family home, the property has in recent years been operating as a highly successful 4 Star Bed & Breakfast business, and would be equally suitable for either purpose.

LOCATION
The town of Jedburgh is justifiably known as the 'Jewel of the Borders' and has a variety of shops, restaurants, a swimming pool, fitness centre, Community & Arts Centre, primary and secondary schools. The historical Royal Burgh of Jedburgh lies ten miles north of the border with England. The Red Stone Abbey on the banks of the Jed Water was founded in 1138 and the Visitor Centre portrays the Abbey's turbulent past. The town has connections with Mary Queen of Scots who visited in
1556. Jedburgh is an attractive setting with riverside walks and colourful renovated buildings in the Market Place and Canongate. Well situated with swift road links to either major airport at Edinburgh or Newcastle, and the main east coast railway line is 35 miles distant at Berwick upon Tweed.
