6 bed country house for sale

Kenmore, Jedburgh TD8

Kirkland House is a prominent former manse house situated on the very edge of the historic Royal burgh of Jedburgh.

Originally built in 1875 by the fashionable architect Thomas Henry Wyatt to create a home for Jedburgh’s significant minister at the time, the house was built to reflect the social status, the grandeur and the fashions of the period.

Built in the baronial and neo gothic style, Kirkland House offers quirky facades, cute offset windows, big bright rooms, a dramatic hallway and staircase, high ceilings, comfort, opulence and very well-preserved period features.

This manse is unusually grand and has a Manor House feel to it - and the front and rear facades have very different architectural styles. The house is surrounded by idyllic gardens, hugged by pretty outbuildings, a coach house, workshop and green housing.

The floorplan offers a very spacious and sprawling feel, and you are welcomed firstly through the storm porch by the wood panelled hallway and stunning staircase. Off the hallway is a cloakroom and toilet, leading further to the office, lounge and formal dining room.

The lounge has an air of peace with French doors leading to the patio, and a charming bay window, fireplace and log burner.

The dining room is stunning with large sunny windows overlooking the rear gardens and is home to large period style furniture, a fireplace and is just the perfect room for family gatherings, parties and hosting occasions.

A further hallway takes you through to the beating heart of the house, with the modernised country kitchen, with gas aga, modern appliances and space for an informal dining table.

The utility room, cloakroom, boot room, cellar store and cozy snug are great spaces to keep up with a busy household, and the snug with fireplace is a very charming room that could also work well as a second office.

On the first floor, are 5 generous sized bedrooms, 2 with ensuite shower rooms and 3 further bathrooms. The main bathroom is luxurious and very well proportioned, with a double walk in shower and a contemporary deep bath.

The second-floor landing is a versatile space for a further snug, office or TV room, and leads on to another charming bedroom with coombed ceilings and access to an extremely spacious storage attic.

The exterior spaces are expansive with a sweeping drive around to the front of the house leading to a car port for 3 cars, coach house garage space and workshop. The gardens are beautifully manicured with a central garden feature and historical plaque.

The rear gardens have been lovingly nurtured over the years with old and new buildings being purposed for green housing, potting sheds, allotment planting, raised beds, mature trees and seating in peaceful corners of the garden.

The rear terrace is a sunny south facing spot, home to the hot tub, sofa and dining spaces.

This stunning period house offers the perfect blend of rich historical features, contemporary styling and modern conveniences. Fast fibre broadband is installed to the house and secondary-glazed windows rate the house with a reasonable energy efficiency and running cost with modern gas central heating.

Town centre amenities are within a short walk from the house. Well serviced by schools, Jedburgh is home to the new state of the art Jedburgh Grammar Campus, also a short walk from the house.

Immerse yourself in history and soak it all in.

Location

The Royal Burgh of Jedburgh is the historical gem in the beautiful Scottish Borders, and the town sits just 10 miles north of the border with England.

Once home to Mary Queen of Scots, Jedburgh has seen its fair share of border wars over the years and the history in this medieval town is stunning, but Jedburgh still commands an enviable location today, being central to 3 major cities - with Edinburgh, Newcastle and Carlisle all around 50 miles away by car.

Melrose and Galashiels are around 25 minutes away by car where the Borders railway connects you to Edinburgh city centre. Berwick-upon-tweed is 50 minutes away by car and connects you to the national rail network between Edinburgh and London with a journey time to London in under 4 hours.

Jedburgh offers something different from other towns in the south of Scotland. It’s not a bustling place, in fact it offers peace, a laid-back feel, a close community atmosphere and amazing access to the outdoors, nature and countryside living.

Not many towns offer such an escape from the city hustle and bustle with good road links and excellent value for money.
