Allerton
is an absolutely delightful traditional cottage in an enviable location
close to the Village Green in the popular Village of Ancrum. It
enjoys a good degree of privacy with a particularly private outlook
to the rear, and in particular benefits from a fully enclosed sheltered
private rear garden. Recently renovated to a high standard, it offers
unusually spacious and bright accommodation which has been thoughtfully
decorated to retain all the traditional character of the property,
which combines most successfully with contemporary elements, particularly
in the kitchen.
LOCATION
Ancrum is a popular Borders village centred round a traditional
village green, with a real community feel, benefiting from many
amenities including a pub, Post Office, General Store, Butcher,
Village Hall, Church and Primary School. The village is well placed
to take advantage of other local attractions such as Harestanes
Visitor Centre and pleasant walks along St. Cuthbert's Way, while
the town of Jedburgh is only five miles distant with its larger
range of shops, doctor's surgery, Grammar School, Library and Swimming
Pool. The A68 is some half a mile away, providing swift access to
both Edinburgh and Newcastle, along with other Border towns, with
a regular bus service picking up from the village centre.
DIRECTIONS
Travelling north from Jedburgh on the A68 take the left hand turn
signposted for Ancrum after approximately 3 miles. Follow the road
into the village, passing the Village Green on the left. Allerton
is the second house on the left after the Green.
