Commercial - In the Region Of £145,000

Property Description

Set in the heart of Kelso, 1–5 Horsemarket presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and versatile commercial premises, ideally suited to a range of business uses. Previously home to the well-established 'John H. Hume' DIY store, and more recently having been used for storage, the now vacant unit benefits from high foot traffic and a strong local base, making it a compelling prospect for like-minded retailers or investors.

Extending to approximately 214 sq.m across four floors, the property offers extensive retail and storage space. The ground floor comprises the main retail area with prominent street frontage and four large display windows overlooking Horsemarket — one of Kelso’s most central and bustling thoroughfares. Basement, first, and second floors currently serve as additional storage, offering flexible space to adapt or reconfigure as needed.

Previously, planning permission was granted to convert the upper floors into residential accommodation, highlighting the potential for a mixed-use redevelopment. While this permission has since lapsed, it demonstrates the scope for future value-add opportunities, subject to renewal and consents.

This mid-terraced retail unit is accessed directly from the street and enjoys strong visibility in a high-footfall location, making it ideally suited for retail, office, or redevelopment purposes.

Whether you're seeking a large-scale commercial base, a high-visibility retail unit, or a development project in a thriving Borders town, 1–5 Horsemarket offers exceptional potential. Early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the scale and versatility of this opportunity.
