6 Abbey Court
6 Abbey Court sits on a quaint and traditional street opening just off the vibrant town square - with a striking white painted frontage, the surrounding properties are equally as impressive including the Turret House, St Andrews Episcopal Church, and of course the stunning 12th Century Kelso Abbey. The charming property dates from around 1820, and is a successful blend of an elegant Scottish contemporary design with an artistic fusion, providing for modern life exceptionally well. A choice of two comfortable reception rooms open on the ground floor, along with well fitted family kitchen, direct access to the private courtyard garden and an internal stair to the cellar. The first floor extends to a further bright public room with a wonderful elevated view currently used as a sitting room, with a neighbouring single bedroom quietly nestled to the rear. The principal bedroom is set across the landing, finished in stylish muted tones with attractive wall panelling, and an adjoining dressing room. The main bathroom also opens from the first floor landing and is fitted with a four piece suite and separate shower, with useful vanity storage and demisting mirror. The stair then continues to a second landing with mirrored proportions, hosting a king sized bedroom with in-built storage and an adjoining single bedroom perfect as a child’s room or nursery. A sumptuous bedroom suite is set to the far end of the landing, with adequate space for living and office furnishings, with a well-appointed shower room set between the two. A fitted timber attic stair extends to a super storage area above. The garden is a fantastic private area, a fully enclosed walled courtyard with access directly on street via a secure timber gate. Newly gravelled with a pergola seating area and mature planting. Ideal for those requiring easy access to a range of amenities, facilities and nearby countryside, the property is ideally suited to those perhaps downsizing who enjoy hosting guests, families with grown up children, or as a lifestyle change or second home, for which Kelso is an incredibly popular spot.
