Summary - 16/9, CHANNEL STREET, GALASHIELS TD1 1BA
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Freehold two-bedroom flat near station, cheap council tax and strong local amenities.
Top-floor apartment with bright sitting room and kitchen
A spacious top-floor apartment in the heart of Galashiels, offered freehold and occupying approximately 895 sq ft. The layout includes two double bedrooms, a useful box room, a bright sitting room and a sizeable kitchen with space for dining. Gas central heating and double glazing are already fitted, and Council Tax sits at Band A.
The location is the property’s strongest asset: immediate access to town-centre amenities, shops, cafes and a short walk to Galashiels Transport Interchange and Borders Railway for fast links to Edinburgh. For a first-time buyer this means everyday convenience and good commuting potential.
The apartment is presented in a largely traditional condition and will suit buyers willing to refresh or modernise. The kitchen and shower room are dated and will benefit from upgrading to meet modern tastes; the property is accessed via communal stairwell to the third floor, with no lift.
Buyers should note the wider area is classified as very deprived and locally serves many constrained renters and migrant families. This brings two clear implications: while local services and rental demand are strong, social and economic challenges are present in the neighbourhood. The apartment could suit a couple or single buyer seeking an affordable town-centre home, or an investor targeting steady rental let in a well-connected location.
