Detached house for sale in Oxnam Road, Jedburgh, Scottish Borders TD8.

Boundary Bank is a four storey 19th century (c.1838), C Listed Georgian villa, in an elevated position high above Jedburgh with fantastic views over the town, its abbey and Borders countryside beyond. It is solidly built of stone under a slate roof and, in recent years, has been extensively refurbished, with still scope to add to the existing accommodation using the basement.

The house has beautifully proportioned family accommodation which makes the most of the natural light that floods in. The house still boasts impressive period features that include its, working window shutters, doors, architraves, skirtings, decorative plaster work and gracious staircase with polished handrail and ornate balustrading. Of note is its handsome
appearance, with large windows, and the spacious dining and drawing rooms with their bay windows, all of which combine to give the house tremendous presence. French windows in the dining/breakfast room provide wonderful link to the garden and outdoors and the fabulous views of the abbey.

The main accommodation includes four bedrooms and two bathrooms in the main house, drawing room, snug, dining room/breakfast room and kitchen with an aga, as well as downstairs wc, utility/boot/boiler room and two bedrooms/offices/studios on the second floor. The drive leads up to a gravel parking area to the front of the house (and to the Coach House which
are set apart).

The Coach House (two bedrooms and Juliet balconies, two bath/shower room/wc and living/kitchen/dining room), itself something of a gem, has, following an extensive programme of refurbishment, for the last eight years been let with huge success as holiday accommodation. It is one of the best/most popular holiday cottages available in the Scottish Borders. See: -
