A guesthouse near a 900-year-old abbey has been put on the market.
The “attractive” Georgian villa has six guest rooms as well as a small annexe.
Drysdale and Company said the property sits in a quiet yet convenient location.
The agent said: “Allerton House is a four-star guest house contained within an attractive detached two-storey Georgian stone villa, surrounded by private landscaped gardens.
“Allerton House enjoys a secluded and quiet position on Oxnam Road just off the A68, a major trunk road within the Borders region of Scotland, some 10 miles north of the England and Scotland border. Surrounded by privately owned residential properties the guesthouse is only a five-minute walk from Jedburgh town centre, which benefits from all the usual amenities.
“Drive time to Edinburgh is one hour and 15 minutes, and one hour 30 minutes to Newcastle. Tweedbank is a 20-minute drive to the northwest where the newly opened Borders trainline provides regular services to Edinburgh and beyond. Jedburgh is popular with outdoor enthusiasts with walking, cycling, horse riding and golf widely catered for in the surrounding area. Jedburgh Abbey is a popular local visitor attraction and is almost 900 years old.”
The agent added: “Car parking is provided at the front and side elevations.
“A central access door leads to the reception hallway at ground floor level which leads to the bright and spacious breakfast room/resident’s lounge, overlooking the gardens.
“A large, fully fitted kitchen is also provided on the ground floor to service the breakfasts for guests.”
