Set on a large, private plot with elevated views across Galashiels, this modern detached house offers flexible family accommodation across two floors. The ground floor has multiple reception rooms — lounge, family room, dining room/study — plus a generous dining kitchen and useful utility. Upstairs features a principal bedroom with dressing room and ensuite, three further bedrooms (one ensuite) and a family bathroom. The layout easily adapts to a home office or a fifth bedroom if required.
Practical strengths include a detached double garage, private driveway parking, mature gardens with a large decking area, gas central heating, double glazing, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The home sits a short walk from the town centre, nearby schools and the Borders Railway for commutable journeys to Edinburgh in under an hour.
Buyers should note material costs: Council Tax is band G (quite expensive) and the immediate area records high deprivation levels. The rear garden is sloping, which gives good views but will require routine maintenance. EPC C indicates reasonable energy performance but not best-in-class efficiency.
Overall, the house will suit growing families seeking space, schooling and transport links, or those wanting a comfortable, well-located home with scope to personalise and enjoy long views over the Borders.
