Summary - 57, GALASHIELS ROAD, GALASHIELS, STOW TD1 2RQ
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious low-energy residence with panoramic Borders views for modern family life.
Architect-designed Passivhaus with high energy-efficiency features
An architect-designed Passivhaus set across three levels, this home balances striking contemporary design with energy-conscious technology. The first-floor open-plan kitchen, dining and living area benefits from floor-to-ceiling south-facing glazing and bi-fold doors, creating a bright social hub that flows onto a glass veranda and gravel patio — ideal for family living and entertaining. Solar-thermal hot water and a wood-burning stove reduce running costs and support sustainable living.
The ground floor provides three double bedrooms including a principal suite with dressing area and en-suite, while the top floor adds two further bedrooms, a second living space and a terrace with panoramic countryside views. Built-in appliances, a large island kitchen and generous storage make daily life easy; three public rooms give flexible space for play, work and relaxation.
Practical considerations are presented honestly: Council Tax Band G means higher ongoing costs, and the wider area is recorded with higher deprivation levels which may affect local services and demographics. The property sits around 25 miles from Edinburgh — commutable by car and rail but a consideration for daily commuters.
Private gardens, terraced decking and off-street parking for two add to the family appeal. Overall, this house will suit buyers seeking modern, low-energy living and generous living space in a scenic Borders setting, while accepting the cost profile and local-area challenges noted above.
