Antylands is a two storey 19th century Victorian villa, in an elevated position high above the Jedwater Valley with fantastic views of the surrounding town and Borders countryside. It is solidly built of stone under a slate roof and,
although in need of a “generational” upgrade/refurbishment, 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 doors, architraves, skirtings, decorative plaster work and staircase with polished handrail and ornate balustrading (a lift also gives access to the first floor). Of particular note is its handsome appearance, with large windows, and the spacious drawing room with its bay window, all of which combine to give the house tremendous presence.

The accommodation includes five bedrooms, (one of which has been used as a home office) and two reception rooms with a living room, drawing room as well as dining room, kitchen, downstairs wc and utility room. A tarmac drive leads up to a gravel parking area to the front/side of the house and the two garages. At the back is a paved terrace giving access to the workshop.

A beautifully kept terraced garden surrounds the house with various lawns, mature hedges, trees and shrubs, and a productive orchard full of apples and plums, not forgetting the summerhouse to the side of the house.

Adjacent to the garden (with its own access to the public road) is a small paddock. This, in turn, gives access to a larger field which provides good grazing (and has its own water supply).

The Royal Burgh of Jedburgh is a popular town on in the heart of the Scottish Borders. It was recognised by the Sunday Times in March 2015 as one of Britain's best places to live and in the top fifty of the finest rural communities. Centred around the bustling High Street, which consists
of a mix of attractive period properties, there is a wide variety of retailers, restaurants, cafés and bars and well as a Co-op supermarket. The surrounding countryside is famous for its beauty and its wealth of sporting and recreational opportunities. The magnificent ruined Jedburgh Abbey,
which was founded in 1118, dominates the town centre and, as a scheduled historic monument, draws in large crowds of tourists following the Borders Abbey Way.
St Boswells and Melrose are both situated a few miles to the north west of Jedburgh, providing a further range of independent shops and cafes, whilst there is a Sainsbury's superstore and a Lidl in Kelso some 10.5 miles to
the northeast. Located on the A68, the town benefits from excellent road connections to Edinburgh, Newcastle and the South. Train links to Edinburgh are provided via the Borders Railway terminus at Tweedbank, 15 miles to the north. The area is also served by a number of local bus routes. Jedburgh is almost equidistant from Edinburgh and Newcastle International Airports.
