Set over two levels, this two-bedroom maisonette offers an affordable, easily managed starter home in an elevated position on the outskirts of Galashiels. The lounge is notably generous, with space for a full suite of furniture, and the flat benefits from double glazing and electric storage heating for straightforward maintenance. Outside, residents share a drying area, communal garden and a residents’ car park; the block has a secure entry system for added peace of mind.
This property is well suited to first-time buyers or those downsizing who want a practical home with scope to personalise. At around 786 sq ft, room proportions are comfortable and the open views from the elevated position add a sense of space. Mobile signal in the area is excellent which is convenient for remote working or staying connected.
Be realistic about the work and location: the building dates from the 1970s style and the flat is presented as a sound, basic home with room to improve to your own taste rather than a turnkey luxury finish. Broadband speeds are reported as slow, and the wider area is classified as very deprived which may affect resale and local services. Tenure is not specified and should be confirmed before proceeding.
Priced at £85,000 with very low council tax, this maisonette represents a low-entry cost into the local market with sensible running costs. Investors seeking a hands-off buy should note the neighbourhood classification and broadband limitation; for an owner-occupier wanting an affordable base with clear improvement potential, it is worth a viewing.
