Affordable two-bed semi with driveway, gardens and commuter links to Edinburgh.
Two double bedrooms with built-in storage
This two-bedroom semi-detached house on Balmoral Avenue offers practical, affordable living in Galashiels. The home benefits from modern fixtures, gas central heating and double glazing, plus a private driveway for two cars and generous front and rear gardens — useful for families or investors seeking rental income.
Internally the layout is straightforward: an entrance hall, dual-aspect lounge/dining room, modern fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms with built-in storage, and a family bathroom. A large attic provides extra storage. Many fittings are described as recently updated, making the property largely move-in ready while still offering scope to personalise.
Notable positives include walking distance to the town centre, local schools and the Borders Railway interchange for commuter links to Edinburgh. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and council tax banding is low, which supports affordability.
Buyers should note the local area scores as very deprived and parts of the exterior show age-related wear; some external maintenance and garden upgrading are likely required to maximise value. The plot and overall footprint are modest, so space is compact compared with larger family homes. These factors make the property most suitable for first-time buyers, downsizers, or investors seeking a lettable property in a convenient location.
