Crailing House, a Regency-style Mansion on the Scottish Borders 

This property is listed by Knight Frank. Click here for full listing details and more photos.


This lovely Georgian country home is set on a secluded parcel of parkland, with stables, a lodge cottage, mature garden and pond for trout fishing. Located 4 miles from Jedburgh, a historic town known for its 12th Century abbey, a castle, and the house where Mary Queen of Scots sought refuge.

Built by architect William Elliot, a local Georgian architect celebrated for his elegance and simplicity in design, the home retains many period features such as curved walls in the drawing and breakfast rooms, and working window shutters, cornicing, and fine staircases.

The home was updated by the current owners, including re-slating and re-leading the roof, chimney restoration, and replacing broken stone work.

With modern amenities, including a modernized kitched featuring a contemporary, recessed log burner for additional winter warmth and a state-of-the-art Everhot range oven, the property is currently run as a luxury vacation rental for memorable family get-togethers and sporting lets.
