Friars Mount, Friarsgate, Jedburgh

Friars Mount is an early 19th century, two-storey, three-bay gabled L-plan farmhouse with an attic storey and a single-storey range to the north. The building features harled elevations on all sides except the front, which has a cement bull-faced render and smooth painted dressings.

The east (entrance) elevation is symmetrical, showcasing a two-storey and attic three-bay front with a single-storey, single-bay range to the north. It has regular fenestration, with a deep-set panelled door at the centre that includes a letterbox fanlight and a cornice above. Pedimented dormer windows are located on the outer bays, and there is a tall single-storey bay to the outer right. The south elevation consists of a two-storey, two-bay layout with regular fenestration; the right bay is displaced to the right of the gablehead stack, while the left bay is part of the range to the west. The west elevation faces an embankment, featuring a gable to the right with a bay to the left of a truncated gablehead stack. A tall window with fixed multi-pane glazing is present in a semi-circular stair tower at the re-entrant angle formed with the front block, with a door to the left. There is a blank single-storey range to the far left.

The north elevation has a single-storey gable end projecting from the main block, with a modern glazed timber door to the left. Timber sash and case 12-pane windows are present, surviving in all but three cases. The roof is covered in grey slate, with ashlar skews and beak skewputts, and features gablehead stacks, including one truncated, one ashlar, and one harled.

The interior was not seen in 1992, but some shutters and panelled doors are clearly remaining.

The property is complemented by obelisk gatepiers with ball finials, which terminate red sandstone rubble quadrant walls with ashlar coping.
