The property never feels too far from civilisation with the neighbouring farmhouse, former school and resident cattle for company. Cottages like this undoubtedly appeal to those in search of a lifestyle change, looking for peace and quiet and a slower pace of living. The property is welcoming throughout, with the ground floor providing spacious living accommodation with a large lounge with open fire place, a generous dining kitchen, and a sun room overlooking the garden. There is an excellent level of light throughout the cottage, with lots of dual aspect rooms and a generous head height, creating a very inviting and comfortable home and affording for family living well. Upstairs, the three bedrooms are comfortable doubles with lovely outlooks, with the family bathroom on the split landing. The external space is well kept and mature, a colourful haven in the spring and summer months, with far reaching views, complete privacy and lots of birds and wildlife. -

It is understood the school catchment is for St Boswells Primary School and Earlston High School. Kelso itself, which lies at the meeting point of the Tweed and Teviot rivers, is one of the most attractive and unspoiled towns in the Borders. 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 as a result.
