This luxurious home oozes quirkiness with period features and characterful decor. Set by the banks of the River Tweed, in the vibrant market town of Kelso near the Scottish borders, this fabulous home is ideal for friends and families seeking adventure.

Instantly noticeable from the street, with a unique turret jutting from the side, this historic home dates to 1678 and retains many original features including exposed stone walls, beamed ceilings, and a spiral staircase.

Step inside the hall and hang up your jackets before heading through to a cosy lounge which has an inglenook fireplace and several sumptuous sofas. A large TV is hung on the wall with a surround sound system, perfect for cosy movie nights together. A pleasant kitchen/diner allows you to cook up a storm, while a large dining table set in front of a feature fireplace is the perfect spot for tucking in together.

This was a great house to be in, with everything you could possibly want. The property is fascinating, several centuries old, and very beautifully furnished that suits the style and age of the house; it was in every way a historic house experience. We loved the stone spiral staircase. The kitchen was well equipped, the large screen TV good, the bedRead mores comfortable, interesting books to dip into, and so close to the town centre, yet with adequate parking, and a church opposite open each day.
