Description
The Abbey House, located on Abbey Close in Jedburgh, was built in 1877. It is a two-storey, two-bay baronial end-of-terrace house constructed from snecked and stugged cream sandstone, featuring ashlar dressings, crow-stepped gables, and stop-chamfered arrises.
On the east elevation, there is a panelled door with a plate glass fanlight to the left, and a single window above it, situated under the eaves. To the right, a gabled canted window is present at ground level, which is corbelled to a square at the first floor and has a bipartite window. A datestone is located in the gable.
The south elevation, facing Abbey Close, has a gabled design with a corbelled gablehead stack. It features a bipartite window at ground level with a timber mullion and a single window above.
The north elevation is also gabled and includes a stack similar to the one on the south. There is a window at the first floor, positioned at the far right.
The house has 4-pane timber sash and case windows, with plate glass in the bipartite and the sides of the canted windows. Additional architectural details include corbel skewputts, coped ashlar stacks, grey slates, and cast-iron downpipes. An elegant street lamp is attached to the south gable.
The boundary wall and railings consist of a dwarf rubble wall with saddleback coping that steps down Abbey Close, complemented by cast-iron arrowhead railings and gates.
