Purpose-built for adventure-packed getaways, this handsome holiday home between Kelso and Jedburgh invites up to seven guests to enjoy a memorable escape. Kelso, just 5 miles away, is a vibrant hub of activity, with traditional Scottish streets and attractive landmarks lining the banks of the River Tweed. Highlights include Floors Castle, Kelso Abbey, the town’s iconic racecourse and an ice rink. Jedburgh, only 6 miles from the property, offers similar appeal and a rich, fascinating history to explore, including Jedburgh Castle Jail & Museum, Mary Queen of Scots’ Visitor Centre and the awe-inspiring Jedburgh Abbey. If fishing isn’t on your agenda, enjoy leisurely golfing afternoons at the championship course at Schloss Roxburghe (3 miles) or at local clubs in Kelso or Jedburgh. Promising further opportunities for walking and hiking, the property is also just 16 miles from the England–Scotland border and the vast Northumberland National Park.
This detached holiday home has been thoughtfully designed to maximise its setting, boasting double-height walls and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame panoramic river views throughout. Step inside and leave outdoor gear and shoes in the entranceway before heading into the utility room, complete with a washing machine and tumble dryer. Towards the rear of the property, discover the impressive lounge/diner, where an A-frame picture window perfectly captures the surrounding scenery. This inviting space features generous soft seating, a Smart TV and an electric flame-effect wood burner for cooler evenings, along with patio doors that lead out onto the balcony on sunny days. The dining table is perfectly positioned to enjoy far-reaching views, ideal for relaxed breakfasts while planning the day ahead. Just off this space, the well-equipped kitchen caters for all your culinary needs, and three ground-floor bedrooms share access to a downstairs shower room. These bedrooms – one double, one twin and one single – are all cosy and welcoming, offering peaceful nights of restorative rest. Upstairs, on the first floor, you’ll find the master bedroom, a spacious king-size room with spectacular views and its own en-suite bathroom. This room also accommodates an optional travel cot, making it well-suited to flexible family stays.
Take time to admire the beautiful scenery and abundant wildlife from two outdoor spaces: the raised balcony and the private garden. Enclosed by glass balustrades, the furnished balcony is an ideal spot to relax with a drink, accessed directly from the lounge. At ground level, the enclosed lawned garden features mature planting along the banks of the River Teviot. Children and pets should be supervised, as the river’s edge lies within the garden boundary. The property has off-road parking for three cars.
