Glorious views and abundant space make this four Anyone looking to buy a spacious, immaculately presented family home and garden in Jedburgh would not be disappointed by Edes Isle, a sizeable detached four bedroom bungalow in a desirable residential area within walking distance of schools, shops and town centre amenities. Built in the 1970s, it was the location and the size of the garden that prompted Dereck and Denise Stinton to buy the property in 2006. “I’m a keen gardener and saw this huge garden as a challenge – a blank canvas crying out to be revamped and developed,”says Dereck. The elevated setting gives Edes Isle the added advantage of spectacular views over the town and surrounding countryside.
Inside, the layout incorporates a living room with multi -fuel stove, a beautiful dining kitchen with integrated appliances (stainless steel oven, ceramic hob, chimney -style extractor, washing machine, dishwasher, cooker included), four bedrooms, two of which have en suite facilities – one currently used as a study, and family bathroom. The house also has a detached garage with off-street parking in front. Amongst other things, Dereck and Denise have installed double-glazing throughout and erected a substantial lean-to shed/workshop in the garden, which Dereck has lovingly landscaped to such a degree it is now an outstanding selling point.
As a property genre bungalows often look smaller than they are from the outside and this one is no exception. But don’t be deceived; this is a spacious and infinitely desirable family home with a well-planned all-on-thelevel layout that has a central hall off which on one side are three bedrooms (two with built-in wardrobes), an en suite shower room and main bathroom – opposite is the 21ft dining kitchen and large square-shaped living room – and at the far end, the master bedroom, with en suite shower room. The latter is dazzlingly bright, having windows on two sides plus two additional Velux windows.
