11 Belmont Place, Kelso
A three-storey townhouse in the heart of Kelso offers easy living in style Located within a quiet conservation area, Belmont Place is one of Kelso’s most sought after addresses, only a stone’s throw away from the town’s historic 12th Century Abbey, the River Tweed and famous Flemish-style cobbled square – a dream location with amenities and historic attractions virtually on the doorstep. Number eleven is a traditional, three-storey townhouse with a beautifully upgraded interior and a pretty, low maintenance courtyard garden at the rear. The ground floor accommodation includes an attractive hallway with tiled floor and carpeted staircase, which leads to a spacious 18ft dining kitchen, a welcoming dual aspect space incorporating a well-equipped Shaker-style fitted kitchen, space for dining furniture, and feature fireplace. Up a level, the first floor houses a bright living room that features two, front -facing sash and case windows, focal fireplace with electric stove, and the original sanded floorboards.
There is also a bathroom on this level, fitted with a modern white three-piece suite with over-bath shower, plus under-stair storage cupboard and access to the courtyard at the rear. The property has two bedrooms, both positioned on the second floor – the larger master bedroom with two sash and case windows to the front, the other bedroom overlooking the rear - the adjoining landing area has been cleverly utilised for built-in storage. Outside, the rear courtyard is an attractive outside space that offers privacy and a continental-style ambiance, while requiring very little maintenance. There is also a very pretty cobbled area to the front of the house, with ample space for garden seating and pot plants.

Kelso, TD5 7JB Offers Over £170,000
This property will appeal to first time buyers, second-steppers and downsizers alike – buyers who are looking to purchase an easily run home in a central location with amenities and transport links easily available. However, Kelso goes much further than most to include attractions not available elsewhere in the Borders, such as a National Hunt Racecourse (dubbed Britain’s friendliest racecourse) and ice-skating, curling and roller-skating. Factor in fishing the River Tweed, golf, horse riding, miles of scenic cycle routes and walkways and historic homes such as Floors Castle to visit, and this property also presents an exceptional case as a holiday let.
