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.

Travelling into Jedburgh on the A68 From Edinburgh, drive through the
