The Old Church at Nenthorn is a skilfully converted property in a fantastic rural location yet only a few minutes drive from Kelso. It is a particularly successful conversion, offering spacious and versatile accommodation with character and many original features.

LOCATION

Nenthorn is a small hamlet with nearby Riding Stables, in an attractive rural location just a few miles North of Kelso and within easy reach of the central Borders towns and Edinburgh accessible with good road links. Kelso itself, which lies at the meeting point of the Tweed and Teviot rivers, is one of the most attractive and unspoiled towns in the Borders. Notable features are the 12th Century Abbey, the Flemish style cobbled square, Floors Castle and the old bridge across the Tweed. The town has good educational and sporting facilities and many quality shops with Tweed fishing, National Hunt racing and walking in the nearby Cheviot Hills.
