9 Springwood Bank is a deceptively spacious detached property enjoying absolutely delightful elevated views to the rear over Kelso taking in both Kelso Abbey and Floors Castle in the distance. The accommodation throughout is well proportioned with a practical and adaptable layout and whilst some elements have been upgraded recently including a newly fitted downstairs shower room some other aspects of the property could now benefit from further general upgrading and modernisation. The gardens enjoy very good levels of privacy and excellent sun throughout the day, providing the ideal spot from which to enjoy the delightful views beyond.
