An exceptional property that blends opulent interiors with period features and Kelso’s bustling market town life Set on a deep meander of the River Tweed, where it collides with the River Teviot, the bustling market town of Kelso is an architectural delight. Once home to the mightiest monastery in the Scottish Borders, the remains of the 12th-century Kelso Abbey now vie for the attention of architecture buffs with the graceful five-arched bridge over the Tweed (built by John Rennie in 1803, it was the model for London's Waterloo Bridge) and the 19th-century ornamental town hall, its octagonal clock tower watching over Kelso Square. Scotland’s largest market square, the cobbled square has a distinctly continental feel to it: thriving market stalls, with their brightly striped awnings, fill the square, which is flanked by grand, Italianate-style buildings. Amongst these is the Grade II listed former British Linen Bank building. Dating to the mid 19th-century, the impressive townhouse has been sensitively restored and redeveloped to create a pair of sought-after holiday homes, including the sumptuous four-bedroom Linen House. Stepping off Kelso Square, a private access door and double-turn staircase lead to a first-floor hallway with soaring ceilings and intricate architrave mouldings and cornicing, setting the tone for the exceptional quality of this coveted apartment. The first floor provides ample living space for guests with a light-filled drawing room overlooking Kelso Square that blends an original slate fireplace and antique furnishings with superbly comfy sofas. A separate sitting room not only offers optional privacy from fellow guests but also delivers extra sleeping capacity, with a double 5' pocket-sprung sofa bed, which is conveniently located next to a bathroom with slipper bath and shower. And, just for good measure, there’s a cosy snug with a Smart TV and PS4 games console. Also on this floor, the designer kitchen features large twin windows to enjoy the comings and goings of life in the town square below, a breakfast bar for informal bites and a large dining table that comfortably seats up to twelve guests. A second double-turn staircase brings you to the second floor, which houses four generously appointed bedrooms. Combining original features such as fireplaces and shuttered sash windows with contemporary styling, each of these spacious bedrooms has hotel-quality Sealy Posturepedic mattresses and a slick en suite or adjoining bathroom/shower room.
