Dispensary House will be available for lettting from 1 Sept 09 following a complete renovation and refurbishment.
A superb, Grade 'B' listed, 18th Century townhouse of great historical interest, being the first hospital in Kelso and only the second in Scotland. The house is currently being fully renovated and will be refurnished to an extremely high standard throughout to provide spacious accommodation for seven guests over three floors.
The house has a great deal of charm and character and many delightful period features which will be returned to their former glory as part of the current renovations. It is in a delightful position on the banks of the River Tweed, boasting stunning views over the river to the rolling hills beyond.
Outside, the delightful, sunny garden is a lovely place to relax and watch the wildlife on the river or see the fishermen try their luck on the legendary junction beat which runs close to the bottom of the garden.
The picturesque town of Kelso lies at the junction of the Rivers Tweed and Teviot and was described by Sir Walter Scott as "the most beautiful, if not the most romantic village in Scotland." Today Kelso remains one of the most attractive and unspoilt towns in the Borders, with a Flemish-style cobbled square, a 12th Century abbey, the majestic Floors Castle and a graceful five-arched Tweed bridge, a model for London's Waterloo Bridge and the championship Roxburghe golf course.
The town has some interesting shops - a fabulous deli and butchers, excellent fish monger, woollen shops, country sports shops and an art gallery to name but a few - as well as a good selection of lively pubs and restaurants often with live music. As well as regular National Hunt Racing, Kelso hosts a number of interesting events throughout the year including the Borders Agricultural Show.
Bellevue House is a charming 1840 detached house within five minutes walk of many local attractions including Floors Castle, River Tweed and the Kelso Race Course. Bellevue House makes a perfect base for walking, cycling, golfing, fishing, or for visiting the wealth of castles, abbeys, historic houses, parks and gardens scattered throughout the beautiful rolling Scottish Borders countryside. Bellevue House is within a short distance to the centre of town where an evening meal can be had at a number of good restaraunts. Kelso is a beautiful town where the main roads of the square are still cobbled and there are many interesting shops which are well worth a browse. Come to Bellevue House and have a relaxing break and experience the history, architecture landscapes of the Scottish Borders. The location of Kelso in the Scottish Borders makes it an ideal centre whichever way you choose to spend your time.
