Location
Spylaw Road, together with Sprouston Road and Pinnaclehill Industrial Estate, comprises the principal industrial areas of the town. The subjects are situated on Spylaw Road, to the south of Kelso.
Kelso is a traditional Market Town with a relatively affluent catchment area providing higher than average disposable income supporting a good range of independent traders. Kelso and the surrounding area has become one of the most sought after residential areas in the Scottish Borders. The town benefits from an attractive setting with a buoyant market square offering an excellent range of shops and restaurants.
It is situated in a central position within the Scottish Borders approximately forty miles south of Edinburgh and around eighteen miles east of Galashiels. According to the 2022 Population Census, Kelso has a population of 7,023, an increase of around 11% over that recorded at the 2001 Census (6,190). The catchment area within a ten-mile radius is 27,858 and the median household income within a five-mile radius is £30,828. (Source: Costar).
Kelso is regarded as an important local employment and retail centre serving a wide rural hinterland. The town’s historic character and attractive setting contribute to a high level of seasonal tourist activity, supported by a range of cultural and heritage attractions within the town and surrounding area. Recreational amenities in the locality include numerous rural walking and cycling routes, leisure and fitness centres, a popular National Hunt racecourse, golf course, ice rink and swimming pool, together with a wide range of sporting clubs. The town is also renowned for its salmon fishing on the River Tweed. Educational facilities are available within the town for all age groups.
Description
The subjects comprise a former dairy premises which has been adapted over time to provide multi-tenanted hybrid business units a vehicle repair garage and workshop.
The original building is of traditional stone construction under a pitched roof clad in slate, incorporating a continuous louvred ventilator running along the roof ridge. There are render faced single storey extensions off the rear of this building. This is presumed to be of cavity construction. They have dual span roof finished in corrugated fibre cement (presumed Asbestos) cladding.
A more modern two-storey office extension has been constructed to the southern elevation of the original building which is presumed to date to the 1970s. This extension is of render-faced cavity construction under a flat roof clad in mineral felt with timber fascias behind the guttering.
Rainwater goods are a mixture of traditional cast iron and more modern PVC components. Windows are generally of simple metal or uPVC construction, providing adequate natural light to the accommodation. Access is taken from the shared yard area, with both pedestrian and service access points.
Internally, the accommodation has most recently been occupied as offices, with a mix of open-plan and cellular rooms arranged over ground and first floor levels within the extension. Finishes are modest but functional, including painted plaster walls, suspended or boarded ceilings in parts, and carpeted or concrete floors depending on use.
To the northern section of the building, the retained former refrigeration units associated with the dairy use remain in situ. These areas have been repurposed for storage, including file storage, and comprise enclosed rooms with solid floors and limited natural light, suitable for ancillary storage rather than primary occupation.
Warehouse buildings have been constructed to the rear.

The subject property is connected to mains electricity, water and drainage. Mains gas available but currently disconnected.
