Summary - 16, DYERS CLOSE, INNERLEITHEN EH44 6QF
2 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Bright two-bedroom apartment with parking and communal garden, ideal for starters.
Two double bedrooms with built-in storage
This well-kept two-bedroom ground floor apartment, built in 2007, offers a practical first home or buy-to-let in central Innerleithen. The layout is bright and neutral, with a dual-aspect living room opening to the shared garden and a kitchen with integrated oven and space for appliances. Two double bedrooms and a bathroom with separate shower provide straightforward, comfortable accommodation across about 67m² (721 sq ft).
Practical benefits include gas central heating, double glazing, secure communal entry with intercom and private residents' parking immediately adjacent to the entrance. The building is freehold and managed by a factor (Spiers Gumley) with current charges around £280 per quarter, covering buildings insurance and communal maintenance.
Be aware of a few material drawbacks: broadband speeds in the area are reported as very slow, which may affect home working or streaming; the wider area is classified as very deprived; and garden space is communal rather than private. These factors should be weighed against the property's quiet yet central town location and low-maintenance modern construction.
Overall this apartment suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-upkeep home in a town-centre setting, close to shops, cafés and public transport. It offers ready-to-move-in condition with modest communal grounds and immediate parking, but limited outdoor privacy and slower connectivity than many buyers expect.
