Boundary Bank, Oxnam Road, Jedburgh

**FABULOUS SIX-BEDROOM DETACHED HOUSE & TWO-BEDROOM COACH HOUSE**

Boundary Bank is a substantial and impressive six-bedroom, 'C' Listed late Georgian detached house which is situated in the historic Borders town of Jedburgh. Set in just under one acre of grounds which include a stunning and sympathetically converted two-bedroom Coach House, its elevated position gives the house the advantage of wonderful panoramic views towards the historic Jedburgh Abbey and across to rolling countryside beyond.

In addition to the generous accommodation within the main body of the house, there is a large basement with several rooms and stores, with a separate access, which could be converted, whilst two attic bedrooms occupy the top floor, perfect for those with older children or as an excellent work from home space. Boasting numerous period features, including flagstones in the entrance areas, decorative plasterwork, bay windows in both main public rooms and working shutters on many windows, the accommodation is well proportioned making for a delightful family home.

Internally, and lying over four floors the accommodation comprises: six bedrooms (one with en-suite bathroom), an elegant sitting room with multi fuel stove, a snug, a spacious dining room opening to the kitchen which has an Aga and in turn accesses the boot/utility room, plus a shower room and a WC. The basement has several store rooms, including a vaulted wine cellar, in addition to three larger rooms, one of which has a double Belfast sink and houses the two central heating boilers, the other being a second utility room and the other, being the old kitchen, having a door leading out to the side of the house.

The beautifully appointed Coach House has proven to be a valuable asset; generating a strong income as a much sought after holiday let. Offering an open plan kitchen/sitting/dining room featuring a centrally positioned freestanding stove and French doors leading to the private patio garden, along with a downstairs WC., there are two good sized bedrooms on the first floor, one of which has two Juliet balconies, alongside a bathroom with separate shower.

Externally, a large, gravelled driveway creates plentiful off-road parking in addition to the garage, which forms part of the Coach House. Coming into their own in the summer months (as demonstrated by the photographs which were taken in 2023) the beautiful, terraced gardens are a particular feature of this house. Cleverly designed to take advantage of the sun and views from several angles, linked by gravelled paths, they include large expanses of lawn, a wide variety of mature trees, well stocked borders with shrubs and flowering plants, a water feature and a kitchen garden as well as fruit trees and soft fruit bushes. There are also two greenhouses, and a large potting shed within the gardens.
