Ryecroft, Chalkheugh Terrace, Kelso

Set on the historical Chalkheugh Terrace above the banks of the River Tweed, this stone built detached home dates to the 19th Century, and with careful upgrading and thoughtful refitting in recent years, now provides an elegant home offering some of the finest views in Kelso.

Opening from the charming cobbles of Roxburgh Street and the vibrant Market Square, Ryecroft on Chalkheugh Terrace is a wonderful setting benefiting private parking by means of its own garage, with plenty of unrestricted off street parking also available. Set against a stunning backdrop visible from the frontage, the property is framed with a traditional gated entrance accessing a patio area with colourful pots and plants and a secure entrance extending to the private courtyard garden; beautifully tended to with sheltering climbers, this easily maintained and secluded seating area gets plenty of sunshine.

The ground floor hosts a choice of public rooms; with a wonderfully bright and recently fitted dining kitchen at its heart, this open plan space is a great area for family gatherings and entertaining; with a super pantry cupboard and sleek kitchen design. The viewing gallery certainly sets this home apart; the semi-circular space has panoramic views stretching across the river towards Floors Castle and beyond. A bright central hallway connects to the lounge set to the far end of the property complete with woodburning stove and an adjoining study or garden room with glazed door to the courtyard. A contemporary shower room also sits on the ground level.

Upstairs, a generous landing opens to three comfortable double bedrooms, all with elevated views and well-proportioned for freestanding furnishings, with the principal bedroom benefitting in-built wardrobes, serviced by a bright family bathroom positioned across the landing.

Such a unique and rare home, Ryecroft on Chalkheugh Terrace is a perfect choice as a downsize to be close to amenities and transport links, and has obvious appeal as an enviable second home or holiday let being so well presented with low maintenance outdoor space.
