Dating from approximately 1750, Abbey View is an exceptionally attractive detached property full of charm and character, in a quiet tucked away location, enjoying absolutely spectacular views towards the Abbey, with the added benefit of an enclosed, private walled garden. Recently renovated, upgraded and redecorated to excellent standards, with the retention of many period features, it offers beautifully proportioned and versatile accommodation which is ideal to meet the changing needs of family life, a highly successful combination of traditional and contemporary features. The house enjoys a particularly high degree of privacy, and benefits from off road parking.

LOCATION

The town of Jedburgh is justifiably known as the ‘Jewel of the Borders’ and has a variety of shops and 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 a number of popular circular walks and bridle ways, which Abbey View is well placed to take advantage of, and colourful renovated buildings in the Market Place and Canongate. Well situated with swift road links to both major airports at Edinburgh and Newcastle, and the main east coast railway line at Berwick Upon Tweed is within 35 miles.
