Return to an age of elegance in this beautifully appointed and superbly spacious Georgian town house which stands right at the centre of things, overlooking the cobbled square in the pretty Borders town of Kelso.
While retaining many original features, Oven Wynd has been refurbished to a high standard and offers generous and comfortable accommodation on several levels - ideal for larger parties or perhaps two families. The house is full of character, with a spacious, elegant sitting room with Georgian windows overlooking the square and a separate, stylish dining room. You could hold a barn dance in the bathroom (not an official suggestion!). Even the loo has a sweeping approach. Children in particular will enjoy escaping to one of the second floor bedrooms which was probably the nursery in former times. It even has an additional little play area alongside it. All in all, Oven Wynd is a unique and most interesting house which also has the benefit of free parking just around the corner.
Kelso itself has many attractive shops and places to eat, and has all facilities, including an ice-rink and swimming pool and a racecourse with regular meetings. It stands at the confluence of the Tweed and the Teviot, both great fishing rivers, which, with delightful walks along their banks, are just three minutes away from Oven Wynd. Also within walking distance is Floors Castle, home of the Duke of Roxburghe and open to the public. There are riding stables nearby, and the 18 hole championship standard Roxburghe Golf Course is just a few minutes away.
The historic town of Berwick is only 25 miles away, and visitors are within easy reach of the sandy beaches and other attractions of the Northumbrian coast, such as Lindisfarne (34m), Bamburgh (34m) and Alnwick (40m). Heading north, Edinburgh (43m) is also within an hour's drive, while inland there are all the stately homes and history-steeped Border towns to visit.
Heating is by gas central heating and electricity (total of £20 INCLUDED). Bed linen is INCLUDED and towels are available for hire. Sorry, no pets and smoking is not permitted within the house. Discounts may apply for smaller parties, please enquire.
