Location
Roxburgh Street is situated to the north of Kelso Town Centre.
Kelso is a traditional market town, with a relatively affluent catchment area providing a higher than average disposable income supporting a good range of independent traders.
It is situated in a central position within the Scottish Borders approximately forty miles south of Edinburgh, around eighteen miles east of Galashiels. According to the 2019 Mid Year population estimate compiled by National Records of Scotland, Kelso has a population of 6,880, an increase of around 11% over that recorded at the 2001 Census (6,190).
The town is considered an important local employment and retail centre serving a wide rural hinterland. It also benefits from a relatively strong tourism sector.
Situation
Roxburgh Street is a mixed-use area, predominantly characterised by commercial units to ground level with residential accommodation above.
It is on the northern extremity of the town centre. The properties to the north of Roxburgh street are predominantly within residential use.
Description
A self-contained ground floor shop with prominent window display to Roxburgh Street.
The units occupy part of a three-storey traditional terraced tenement building. The upper levels were converted into residential accommodation which has subsequently been sold off and is now in separate ownership. These ground floor units were created in around 1997, following the redevelopment and sub-division of the former Lothian and Borders Co-operative Society premises.
The front section of the building is of traditional stone construction, with rendered finishes under pitched roofs clad in slate incorporating a standing seam metal finish to the central section of some of the buildings. There are a number of render faced cavity extensions to the rear predominantly with flat roofs finished in mineral felt.
This is a Single fronted unit with display window to Roxburgh Street and off-set entrance door.

Broadband availability and predicted speed
Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
