Location
Templehall Inn is a characterful Category C Listed former coaching inn situated within the heart of the popular village of Morebattle nestled within the foothills of the Cheviots, approximately seven miles to the south of Kelso.
The name Morebattle is understood to come from the Anglian translation of ‘Mere-Bottl’ meaning house by a lake. The former loch between Morebattle and Linton is understood to have been drained during the 19th Century as part of a scheme of agricultural improvements.
Local amenities within the village include the Templehall Inn itself, Village Hall directly to the west, Morebattle Parish Church, a Primary School, Morebattle Community Shop, a Butchers, Cessford Motors and Keith Wilson Haulage.
Kelso nearby provides a wider range of amenities, services and recreational facilities including an excellent selection of shops with some High Street names, library, health centre, recently renewed high school, supermarkets, health and leisure facilities including a wide range of sporting clubs.
Morebattle and the surrounding area provides exceptional terrain for a range of outdoor pursuits. It is situated on the route of St Cuthberts Way a scenic walk which leads between Melrose and Lindisfarne. There are also various cycle routes and horse riding and fishing opportunities.
Description
A Category C Listed ‘L’ plan gabled Coaching Inn dating back to the 18th Century with later alterations dating to the early 19th Century. A single storey bar/function room was added in the later 20th Century.
The original building is of traditional stone construction with a white rendered external finish under pitched roof clad in slate. The later cavity extension has a similar white painted rendered finish under a flat roof finished in mineral felt.
Windows predominantly comprise timber framed case units with UPVC double glazed windows and French doors off the bar to the patio and gardens beyond. The significant refurbishment works have been undertaken in recent years including reconfiguration of the snug bar to provide a guest lounge/breakfast room, upgrading of the en-suite shower rooms and the bedrooms including new furniture. Additionally, a conversion of the attic to form a multi-use space (owner/manager accommodation, an additional letting suite or office space) providing a lounge, bedroom (with bath) and separate WC.
Externally, there is a large tarmacadam surfaced carpark to the front together with well-tended terraced gardens to the rear which are landscaped with paved patio accessed off the bar, steps up with planted borders either side to upper level laid to lawn with raised decking area providing additional seating and exceptional views over open farmland and the foothills of the Cheviots beyond.
There is gated access off the garden grounds to the Community paddock beyond. The community has secured significant funding to develop this field to provide a substantial recreational facility which is understood to include plans for a running track and children’s play park. Development in the area provides potential to benefit from increased visitor footfall.
