1 / 24Carterhouse Annex
Jedburgh, Scottish Borders
A house for four near Jedburgh in the Scottish Borders with a mature enclosed garden, a firepit and a private hot tub, and five dogs welcome.
The utility room opens straight out into the enclosed garden, which is a small piece of design that five dogs will make constant use of. Five is the allowance here, the highest anywhere in this corner of the Borders, and it makes Carterhouse Annex a dog friendly house with a good deal more capacity for animals than it has for the four people it sleeps.
Two bedrooms, a king size and a twin, sit upstairs alongside a bathroom with a free standing bath and a separate shower. Downstairs runs vestibule, hall, lounge, kitchen and utility, with a WC of its own. The enclosed garden outside is mature and holds seating, a firepit and a private hot tub, with the valley falling away beyond the boundary and room enough in it for five dogs to spread out.
Five dogs needs thinking about, and this house has clearly done the thinking. A vestibule at the door for wet coats and wetter animals, a utility with its own way out onto the grass, and hard floors exactly where hard floors matter. The mature planting gives the dogs somewhere to disappear into and reappear from. It is rare to find a property arranged around a large number of dogs rather than merely putting up with them.
Northumberland National Park begins 2 miles away with the Cheviot ridge rising behind it, which is about as much empty walking as anyone could reasonably ask for. Chew Green's Roman camp lies 7 miles off, a marching camp on the old road over the border with nothing whatever around it. Jedburgh and its ruined abbey are the town, and Kielder's forest sits west with its water and a silence five dogs cannot dent.

Is Carterhouse Annex dog friendly?
Carterhouse Annex is genuinely dog friendly — not just tolerant of dogs, but designed around them. It welcomes up to five dogs, which is the highest allowance in this part of the Borders, and the property features a vestibule for wet animals at the door, hard floors where they matter most, a utility room with direct access to the enclosed garden, and mature planting for dogs to explore.
Are dogs allowed at Carterhouse Annex year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, and the property appears set up to handle dogs in all conditions — the vestibule and utility room with garden access are particularly well suited to muddy arrivals after a wet walk. For confirmation of year-round availability, it's worth checking directly with the property.
What should I know before visiting Carterhouse Annex with my dog?
The house takes up to five dogs, which is well above the average for the area, so it's a strong choice if you're travelling with a larger pack. The enclosed garden has seating, a firepit and a private hot tub, and the layout — with a utility room opening straight onto the grass — makes coming and going with dogs very practical. Northumberland National Park starts just 2 miles away, offering extensive walking on the Cheviot ridge, and Kielder Forest sits to the west, so there's no shortage of space to stretch everyone's legs.
