A compact ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in central Galashiels, offered freehold and ideal for downsizers or buy-to-let investors. The layout comprises an entrance hallway, sitting room, kitchen, bedroom and a four-piece bathroom, with direct access to a private rear garden containing lawn, decking and a timber shed. Gas central heating and double glazing are already fitted, and the property sits within easy walking distance of the town centre and Galashiels Interchange for regular trains to Edinburgh.
The apartment is attractively located for local shops, leisure facilities and schools, making it a practical, low-maintenance home for someone wanting town-centre convenience. The property’s size (approx. 453 sq ft) and council tax band A mean running costs should be modest. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working or rented occupancy.
Externally the terrace is a Victorian stone-built property with standard ceiling heights and a narrow street frontage. The rear garden and shed provide useful outdoor space but are currently overgrown and will need basic tidy-up. While much of the interior is described as in good order, the property’s age and exterior visuals suggest routine maintenance (roof/stonework inspection) may be advisable.
Set at an asking price of £75,000 in an area recorded as very deprived, this apartment offers clear value for a purchaser seeking an affordable town-centre home or an investor targeting rental demand close to transport links. Buyers should note the limited plot, compact internal space and some external garden maintenance required.
