Holme Lea, 18 Forestfield, Kelso

With striking period features, a retained Victorian frontage and a traditional flair throughout the interior, Holme Lea is a beautiful family home set within one of the most desirable locations in Kelso. Forestfield is a charming row of handsome stone built properties; well-regarded and sought after locally for their exceptional proximity to the centre of town and nearby countryside, and offering a buyer a premium setting.

Holme Lea has been owned by the same family for the best part of a century – this wonderful property provides an enviable home with adaptable accommodation presented on three floors, a fantastic private plot and landscaped garden, providing plenty of off street parking with a generous drive and a garage, and with endless scope to modernise further as required.

The ground floor opens to a traditional reception hall showcasing the curved stair and extending to the main public room with stunning bay window and feature fireplace. The fitted breakfasting kitchen, a useful utility room with pantry and laundry facilities, a family bathroom and a ground level bedroom overlooking the rear garden are also set on this floor. There is a useful home office set to the front and an excellent selection of storage throughout.

Upstairs, a further reception room mirrors the lounge; with a beautiful bay window and open fire, and would also lend well as a master bedroom with potential for an ensuite facility being on the adjoining wall to the family bathroom. Two further double bedrooms and a single bedroom are also set on this level, with a fitted attic stair opening to a bedroom or hobby space and excellent storage above.

The garden is a wonderful complement to the property; with a spacious front section of ground allowing for parking for several vehicles, access to the side of the house to the garage and outhouses, and a generous section of lawn is set to the rear with patio and mature planting.
