This stone-built listed property is part of a terrace row built around 1800 and is set on a narrow lane in the centre of Jedburgh. This is a town steeped in history – Mary Queen of Scots spent some time here in 1566 and the tower house she stayed in nearby is now a visitor centre featuring displays of artwork, textiles and objects associated with her life and times. Jedburgh Castle Jail and Museum (0.5 miles) allows visitors to walk through the original cells, and you can also take a riverside walk or browse the shops in the Marketplace and Canongate. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy fishing, cycling, boat trips, horse riding and golf in Ale Water Valley, 6 miles away.
The cottage is set over three floors. A modern fitted kitchen with a dining table is on the ground floor, along with a utility room featuring a sink and worktop, room to store bicycles and a separate WC. The light and spacious lounge stretches across the wonderful first floor space and includes comfortable seating, a Smart TV and a wood burner effect electric fire for cosy evenings in. Finally, the beautiful bedroom is on the second floor and has triple-aspect windows, a king-size bed and its own charming en-suite shower room.
The property does not have garden access, but you are only 10 metres from the lovely gardens at Mary Queen of Scots’ Visitor Centre should you wish to stretch your legs (there is no entrance fee).
