Property description

15 Union Street offers an excellent opportunity to purchase a traditional end terraced townhouse in a central location a few steps from the pretty Kelso Town Square and close to many local amenities including shops and beautiful riverside walks. The property has been partially renovated but offers scope for further upgrading enabling you to put your own stamp on this unique corner property. It is situated in a conservation area occupying four floors and although has had upgrading work carried out, has retained many of its original features. It would make an excellent family dwelling but its central location also lends itself to the possibility of further development as Buy to Let or holiday investment, subject to the necessary consents.
