Allerton
House is an outstanding detached property situated in extensive
enclosed gardens, in an excellent central yet private location within
the popular market town of Jedburgh. It offers beautifully proportioned
and particularly spacious accommodation which has been sympathetically
modernised to meet the requirements of contemporary living, yet
retaining many lovely original features which very much add to its
charm and character. Decorated throughout in a pleasant neutral
palette, it is a highly successful combination of traditional and
contemporary styles with ornate cornices, deep skirtings and panelled
windows. Recently operating as a particularly successful Bed and
Breakfast business (details on application), it would also be ideal
to provide superb and highly flexible family accommodation, with
the benefit of an adjacent Suite comprising Lounge, Kitchen, 2 Bedrooms
& Bathroom, along with a separate detached newly converted Stables/Studio
with letting potential.
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.
DIRECTIONS
Travelling south into Jedburgh on the A68, continue through the
town taking the last left hand turn at the Parish Church onto Oxnam
Road. Continue up this hill for approx ¼ mile, with Allerton
House on the right hand side at the end of a curving driveway.
