DETAILS
2 Tweed House provides an excellent opportunity to purchase a contemporary, purpose-built flat within one of the Scottish Borders' most sought-after towns.

Situated on the ground floor, the apartment is easily accessible, catering well to a broad range of buyers, including those seeking ease of access or with mobility considerations.

The apartment is constructed with a timber frame and brick/block exterior, finished with a rendered façade to blend with Kelso’s traditional architecture.

The bathroom includes a three-piece suite with a mixer shower over the bath. Heating is supplied by a combination of electric storage and panel heaters, complemented by a modern dual-immersion hot water cylinder.

Though modestly sized at 54 sqm, the flat makes excellent use of its space, offering a quiet and private environment despite its central location. The neutral décor provides a blank canvas for a new owner to personalise or modernise to their taste. Buyers should note the property operates fully on electric heating, with no gas supply, though it remains efficient and well-suited to contemporary lifestyles.

Overall, 2 Tweed House represents strong value for money, whether as a full-time residence or a rental investment. Its proximity to all amenities, secure access, and private parking make it particularly attractive for those seeking convenient and low-maintenance living. The well-kept communal spaces further add to the appeal, ensuring a secure and cared-for environment. With Kelso’s continued popularity and a resilient property market, this flat presents a superb opportunity for prospective purchasers.
