About the property
Within easy level walking distance of the town centre, St Mary’s is an attractive semi-detached villa with a blonde sandstone façade and the benefit of an enclosed rear garden and off-road parking to the front, while the interior reveals fine original features and extended accommodation over two floors.
St Mary's
Built in 1900, for the last 33 years St Mary’s has been a well maintained and much loved family home – extended at the rear to provide a convivial family dining kitchen with rear garden access, and while the present first floor galleried landing incorporates a good-sized office area for home-based workers.
Entered by a charming slate-roofed porch with a stained and leaded glass panel and side window, the entrance hall leads to a bay-windowed living room, enhanced by ornate plasterwork, picture rail and white marble fireplace with decorative tiled insert and living flame gas fire. There is also a rear-facing third bedroom (or second reception/dining room) with built-in storage and focal fireplace with electric coal-effect fire.
At the end of the hall, the kitchen is fitted on three sides with classic wood-fronted units, contrasting work surfaces, space for free-standing/ slot-in appliances, and tiled splashbacks and flooring – the adjacent dining area is carpeted and has sliding patio doors out to the rear garden. The ground floor also has a WC and separate adjoining shower room (currently a utility).
A carpeted staircase leads up to a spacious first floor landing, which presently houses a well-lit study/office area next to a window, two well-proportioned double bedrooms – both with built-in storage, while bedroom two also has an original decorative fireplace – and a modern bathroom with bath, storage and separate corner shower cabinet.
Externally, the easily maintained, south-facing walled rear garden incorporates an area of lawn, paved paths and patio, mature shrubs, shed – and a bespoke timber summerhouse built by a local joiner only a year ago. And at the front of the house, a Tarmac area provides off-road parking. St Mary’s is a lovely family home within easy reach of Kelso’s town centre amenities.
