Situation: Kelso is one of the most attractive towns in the Scottish Borders, situated at the confluence of the Rivers Tweed and Teviot with its focal point being the Flemish style Town Square. There are excellent shopping, educational and recreational facilities, the latter including National Hunt Racing, Curling, Golf (including the magnificent Roxburghe championship course), Swimming, Rugby, Tennis, Cricket, Bowls and Fishing. Kelso is within easy reach of all other parts of the Borders and lies approximately 43 miles south of Edinburgh, 25 miles west of Berwick-Upon-Tweed, with its main line Railway Station, and 70 miles north of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. The recently reinstated Waverly Line, from Tweedbank to Edinburgh, offers another option for the commuter, with Tweedbank being in under a 30 minute drive from Kelso.
Description: Sutherland Gardens is a small exclusive cul-de-sac development, which benefits from a fantastic location, enjoying delightful views over Shedden Park and with the town centre just a few minutes walk away. The vendors have occupied the property since it was constructed in 2010, and have maintained it in excellent condition with a very recent additional improvement being the installation of solar panels. The interior is beautifully proportioned offering a flexible layout, great for the family or those who have regular visitors, and it has quality fixtures and fittings along with a number of pleasing design details. The sunny garden to the rear is a superb size and has been planned for relative ease of upkeep, with a charming summer house in one corner next to which is a lovely little pond with waterfall. The garden to the front is laid to lawn and a monoblocked drive gives off road parking in addition to the double garage, which is entered by an electric remotely controlled door and in turn leads though into the utility room.
All in all this is a quite exceptional property and early viewing comes highly recommended in order to fully appreciate its many attributes.
