7 Maxwellheugh Terrace is a truly charming ‘B’ listed stone built period semi-detached cottage; forming part of this distinctive traditional terrace the property enjoys a fabulous location within the town with an open outlook to the front and elevated outlooks to the rear; Conveniently located within easy reach of all local amenities including Sainsbury’s which is only a short walk from the property. The property dates from 1864 and offers a wealth of interesting original features both inside and out which marry perfectly with the contemporary style of décor throughout which was comprehensively renovated in 2009, including redecoration, rewiring and central heating. For those looking to purchase a second home or holiday let property in the town this is a perfect opportunity with excellent rental potential thanks in part to the strong local industry from salmon and trout fishing on the Tweed.

Location
Kelso, which lies at the meeting point of the Tweed and Teviot rivers, is one of the most attractive and unspoiled towns in the Borders. Notable features are the 12th Century Abbey, the Flemish-style cobbled square, Floors Castle and the old bridge across the Tweed. The town has good educational and sporting facilities and many quality shops. The area has much to offer those interested in country pursuits with fishing on the Tweed and is an increasingly sought after location within the Borders.
