Eildon Housing has announced that building works are underway working with local contractor M&J Ballantyne, to create more much-needed affordable housing on the historic site of the former High School in Kelso.  This development will consist of 36 new homes for extra care.

Architect Aitken Turnbull’s sympathetic design includes retaining the art deco facade of this attractive listed building. 

The works will be carried out over two phases.  Phase one is a two-year programme producing 36 new homes and Phase two will have a further 16 homes including two two-bedroom properties with wheelchair access.
