Kelso sits at the confluence of the River Tweed and the River Teviot and the surrounding countryside is noted for its scenic beauty. Kelso has good road links with the other principal towns in the Scottish Borders and there are railway stations at both Tweedbank (16 miles) and Berwick upon Tweed (25 miles).

Primary residency of the property would entitle the owner to membership of Kelso Angling Association’s salmon beat. Their trout permit provides four miles of trout and grayling fishing on the River Teviot and a further five miles on the Tweed.
