New cat wakes us up at night, any ideas?

Hi all,
Wondering if this is a common problem.
We've had our cat for 2 weeks, she is such a dear little thing and it's been going well.
Our only issue is she will wake us up 2 or 3 times a night coming into the bedroom and scratching/miaowing to get us up. I go downstairs with her to see if she wants something but all she does is walk back and forth between the living room window and dining room window - she waits to see if I'm following her and then she'll spend a few minutes at each window just staring outside. I've tried opening the windows to see if she wants to go out but she rarely does.
I'm wondering if she's patrolling the perimeter and thinks she needs back up or maybe she's just a bit lonely and wants some company?
We've tried tiring her out by playing with her before bed but had no luck
Is this something other cat owners have had and are there any solutions?
Thank you!

But age is important, and did she do this in her previous home?
Our downstairs is open plan though so not an option for us
