The property
‘12 Main Street’ is a very sweet and traditional stone built cottage enjoying a pleasant village location yet within easy reach of Kelso. The cottage is charming from the outside and this is a theme that is continued throughout the interior. In its current state the property offers an exciting opportunity for a DIY enthusiast as it would now benefit from modernisation and general upgrading with scope to extend to the rear subject to the appropriate consent. It presents an ideal opportunity to create a quirky holiday let, Border’s bolthole or equally suitable as a main home.
