Ask a questionAbout Jane Bell
We live down in Gloucestershire but use the flat maybe for 5 or 6 weeks a year and friends have also used it in the past - so it is home from home. We have recently upgraded the bathroom. We enjoy Kelso as everything one needs is on your doorstep, and yet where the property is situated it quite quiet, even at night. Wi-Fi available.
Jane Bell purchased this Apartment in 1996
Why Jane Bell chose Kelso
Having been brought up in the Scottish Borders, my husband retains an affection for the area and when his parents died, he bought the flat as a means of keeping in touch with his 'native heath'.
What makes this Apartment unique
For a town property, there are pleasant views overlooking the churchyard and the ruins of Kelso Abbey. The second bedroom does not have a view but is very quiet at night. There are 2 pubs nearby - sometimes a bit noisy at the weekend but they close at 11.00 pm!
