Balmar House, Ancrum, Jedburgh, Roxburghshire, TD8 6UY

The property

Tucked away from view and enjoying a particularly private aspect with unspoilt views over the grounds and surrounding countryside, Balmar House is a substantial detached, two storey, four bedroom house located on the edge of the highly sought after village of Ancrum. Accessed via a private slip road, owned by the dwelling itself, the property sits on a generously sized plot of approximately 5 acres; which consist of both lawn and woodland areas. Retaining the majority of its original features, the property emanates an abundance of period charm while surprisingly not being subject to any Listed Category. The original house was built in 1710 and was then extended twice during the 1800s to provide the spacious accommodation that it is today; which is of solid stone construction and extends to an approximate 179m2. Although in need of comprehensive modernisation, Balmar House is a stunning addition to the market and offers tremendous scope for those with a knack for renovation and that would restore this fantastic family home to its former glory. Location: Ancrum lies some 3 miles north west of Jedburgh near the junction of the Ale Water with the Teviot and just off the A68 between St Boswells and the turn off for Hawick. The village itself is well served by public transport to many of the surrounding towns and villages. It has a combined Post Office and village store as well as a primary school, village hall, pub and church. In the nearby town of Jedburgh there is a good range of shopping and sports amenities. The main trunk route both north and south bound provided by the A68 runs through Jedburgh, bringing many of the surrounding Borders towns and villages into comfortable travelling distance.
