The historic market town of Kelso lies 7 miles due South-West of Eccles. Kelso houses a number of the major supermarket chains, has some excellent local shopping, several public houses and restaurants and a number of historical attractions such as Kelso Abbey and Floors Castle. Kelso also offers the world-famous Kelso Races Course and leisure facilities which include a swimming pool, fitness centre, a very well attended Curling Club and 2 fantastic golf courses, the championship course at the Roxburghe Schloss Hotel and Kelso Golf Club.

The picturesque town of Coldstream is also close by. Coldstream is full of Scottish charm and is home to the Coldstream Guards, one of the oldest regiments in the British Army. Coldstream offers a number of local attractions such as Hirsel Estate with its newly opened farm shop and café, the Coldstream Museum and the well regarded Hirsel Golf Club.

The countryside surrounding 15 Main Street offers an excellent choice of attractions such as historic houses and a particularly beautiful coastline around the nearby towns of Berwick Upon Tweed, St Abbs and Coldingham. The Northumberland National Park (Britain’s biggest National Park) and the Cheviot Hills are only a 25-minute drive and the historic towns of Melrose and Jedburgh are also accessible.

15 Main Street is situated in a peaceful part of the Scottish Borders but offers excellent links to Edinburgh, Newcastle and even London. The A697 provides easy commutable access to Scotland’s capital. Berwick – a 20 mile drive away offers a mainline train station with a regular service up and down the country, with London being only a 3 ½ hour journey away.

General Description

15 Main Street is an interesting 4-bedroom property occupying a central plot in the pretty village of Eccles. Requiring a small programme of upgrading, it has the potential to be a wonderful family home.

The property is accessed via the main front door into a small vestibule. The ground floor accomodation is comprised of a bright living room, dining room with open fireplace, a downstairs bedroom which could be utilised as an ideal home office, a shower room with WC and lastly the kitchen. The kitchen is fitted with a selection of wall and base units, an electric oven with hob and a washing machine. A storeroom can be found to the rear of the sitting room allowing general household storge.

Up the carpeted staircase to the first floor the bright landing is reached leading into the three double bedrooms, each bedroom benefits from built in storage.

Garden Grounds

Externally, to the front of the property there is a small secure gravelled garden with planted shrubs and flowers. A double doored garden store allows off street parking to the front of the property and has the potential to develop into further accomodation if relevant planning was obtained.

To the rear of the property is an expansive garden, mostly laid to lawn with multiple planting areas, a patio section, greenhouse with kennel, a garage, log store, tarmac parking area from a shared access path and a large garden store. Again, this garden store has great development potential, if relevant planning was submitted it could make an excellent garden office/annex.
