Kelso has a population of approximately 5,639 according to the 2011 population

census. Whilst a relatively small town it acts as a local centre for a wide rural

hinterland. The settlement is conveniently located within the Central borders

approximately 18 miles to the east of Galashiels, 44 miles south of Edinburgh. Kelso

benefits from an historic setting and attracts a high level of seasonal tourist trade.

Description A pair of detached commercial buildings occupying a site of approximately 0.150 ha

(0.37 acres) or thereby.

Building 1 (north) is of traditional stone construction under a pitched roof clad in

slate with louvered ventilator running the length of the roof with a more modern

single story extension to the west.

The extension would appear a combination of stone and cavity brick construction. It

has a flat roof with mineral felt covering. To the west of this there is an open ended

lean to canopy built off the boundary wall. This provides a sizeable warehouse/

workshop with vehicular access from the east, with four further stores.

Building 2 (south) would appear of cavity construction. It has pitched roofs with

corrugated fibre cement (presumed asbestos) cladding. Windows comprise timber

framed double glazed units. Rain water goods are predominantly of PVC

specification. Internally, this is configured to provide five workrooms/stores, an

office, kitchen and wc but would readily suit a range of compatible uses such as

offices or studio accommodation.

To the rear there is a concrete framed storage building which is open at the eastern

end with double gates to the entrance. There does not appear to be any services to

this building. It is of a agricultural specification.

The access to the site is understood to be shared with the buildings to the east

which are in separate ownership.

Areas

The site has been measured from an OS based mapping system to a total area of

approximately 0.15ha (0.37 acres) or thereby.

Planning

Spylaw Road Industrial Estate is one of the principal business destinations serving

Kelso and the surrounding area.

The Estate is zoned for the Retention of Business and Industrial Use within the

Definition of the Town and Country (Use Classes) (Scotland) Order 1997 and this

would support the following uses:

• Class 4 (Business/Light Industrial use)

• Class 5 (General Industrial)

• Class 6 (Storage and Distribution)

This is a mixed use estate so it is anticipated that Scottish Borders Council would

also support a range of sui generis (site specific) and trade counter uses in keeping

with the existing uses at the estate, The buildings offer considerable flexibility to be

occupied as a whole or a number of separate units.
