Woodside House is a real hidden gem; wonderfully secluded into a private corner of the village with a lovely woodland edge aspect.

The internal layout is such that it can easily adapt to different requirements or indeed the ever changing demands of modern family life; there is a lovely balance between living space and bedroom accommodation with the added benefit of bedroom and bathroom/shower room facilities on both levels. The grounds are extremely private and have been designed for ease of maintenance; the stone wall boundary to the rear is a lovely feature. This super family home boasts a premium location; perfect for those seeking a quiet and established village setting, yet remaining close to Kelso and other surrounding towns and villages ensuring the best of country living with plenty of convenience.
