A newly refurbished first-floor main-door flat offering a compact, high-spec starter home in Galashiels. The interior has been fully updated with brand-new kitchen appliances, shower room, floor coverings and fresh neutral decoration, allowing immediate move-in with minimal fuss. The open-plan living and kitchen make efficient use of the 364 sq ft layout, and good mobile signal and fast broadband suit home working or streaming.
Practical positives include plentiful on-street parking, a shared garden for outdoor space, and freehold tenure. Commuters will appreciate regular rail and bus links to Edinburgh within approximately one hour. The property has an EPC rating of C and electric boiler and radiators for heating.
Notable constraints are the property’s small overall size and its setting in an area classed as very deprived with a local profile of constrained renters; this may affect rental potential and resale expectations. The building dates from c.1900–1929 with sandstone walls and no confirmed insulation—buyers should consider potential upgrading costs for wall insulation or further efficiency improvements. Overall, this flat suits a first-time buyer seeking a low-entry, recently renovated home close to local amenities and transport links.
