Set on Galashiels High Street, this first‑floor two-bedroom flat sits in a late‑Victorian redbrick building and offers generous, well‑proportioned rooms across about 67m². The living room is bright with large sash‑style windows and the layout suits a first home or a buy‑to‑let, with the town centre, train station and local amenities all within easy walking distance.
Practical features include one allocated off‑street parking space, a recently fitted electric heating system and a modern shower room. The property retains period character externally while the internal conversion delivers simple, low‑maintenance finishes — laminate flooring and neutral decoration — that appeal to a wide rental or owner‑occupier market.
Buyers should note a few material points: the EPC is F36, indicating poor energy efficiency and likely higher running costs; the area is recorded as very deprived; and the property lies within a zone with a reported medium river and surface water flood likelihood (about 0.5% annually). Broadband information is mixed in the listing — confirm actual speeds if fast connectivity is important.
Overall, this flat offers character, central convenience and clear rental or starter‑home potential. It will suit purchasers willing to accept modest energy‑efficiency upgrades and to check flood and service details to match their long‑term plans.
