Situation
Old Purves Hall is approached via a shared tarmacked driveway, set in a rural position within the Berwickshire Countryside, positioned around 3 miles south of Greenlaw and about 7 miles north of the well-regarded Borders town of Kelso.

Nearby Greenlaw offers a range of basic amenities and services such as a well-stocked local shop, an excellent butcher, and a lively public house. The historic market town of Kelso lies 7 miles due South-West of Old Purves Hall. Kelso houses a number of the major supermarket chains, has some excellent local shopping, several public houses and restaurants and a number of historical attractions such as Kelso Abbey and Floors Castle. Kelso also offers the world-famous Kelso Races Course and leisure facilities which include a swimming pool, fitness centre, a very well attended Curling Club and 2 fantastic golf courses, the championship course at the Roxburghe Schloss Hotel and Kelso Golf Club.
The picturesque town of Coldstream is also close by. Coldstream is full of Scottish charm and is home to the Coldstream Guards, one of the oldest regiments in the British Army. Coldstream offers a number of local attractions such as Hirsel Estate with its newly opened farm shop and café, the Coldstream Museum and the well regarded Hirsel Golf Club.
The countryside surrounding Old Purves Hall offers an excellent choice of attractions such as historic houses and a particularly beautiful coastline around the nearby towns of Berwick Upon Tweed, St Abbs and Coldingham. The Northumberland National Park (Britain’s biggest National Park) and the Cheviot Hills are only a 25-minute drive and the historic towns of Melrose and Jedburgh are also accessible.
Old Purves Hall is situated in a peaceful part of the Scottish Borders but offers excellent links to Edinburgh, Newcastle and even London. The A697 provides easy commutable access to Scotland’s capital. Berwick – a 20-mile drive away offers a mainline train station with a regular service up and down the country, with London being only a 3 ½ hour journey away.
