Glenarvan, Friarsgate, Jedburgh

Glenarvan is a later 19th-century, two-storey, three-bay U-plan villa located in Friarsgate, Jedburgh. The building features squared and snecked sandstone with ashlar dressings and quoin strips.

The east elevation has three bays, with a central step leading to a stop-roll-moulded doorcase topped with a bracketed cornice. The deep-set door has a window above it. To the left, there is a projecting gabled bay that is canted at the ground level and has corbelling to a square shape at the first floor. This bay includes a bipartite window at the first floor, complete with a moulded cill course and hoodmould, and a rectangular window in the gablehead topped with a ball finial. To the right, a projecting bay window at ground level is tripartite at the front with single lights on the sides, featuring stop-chamfered corners, a cornice, and a parapet with a blind arcade. Above this bay window is a bipartite window, and the elevation has a base course.

The north elevation is a mix of single and two-storey sections with seven bays. The first two bays on the left are blank and gabled, with a window at ground level to the right. The third bay has a narrow window at the first floor, while the fourth bay has windows on both floors. The three bays to the right are single storey, with a later box dormer to the left and a window in each bay.

The south elevation has three bays and features a large modern timber and glass single-storey extension at ground level. At the first floor, there are two gabled bays to the right with an apex stack and a window to the right, while the rest of the elevation is blank.

The west elevation is irregular, with projecting gabled wings on both the left and right sides. The villa has timber sash and case windows, with plate glass on the front (the central window of the canted bay is four-pane) and four-pane windows on the sides, although some of the side windows are uPVC. The roof is covered in grey slates, with ashlar skews, corbeled skewputts, and sandstone stacks with ashlar coping. There are cast-iron downpipes, some of which have moulded rainwater hoppers. The interior was not seen in 1992.

The coach house is constructed from squared, snecked, and stugged sandstone and features board doors. The central stop-chamfered doorcase has a rectangular fanlight and flanking windows. There is a door to the hay loft above, which breaks the eaves with a piended roof. The left side includes a converted carriage door with windows in the upper section, while the right side is blank.
