Summary - 102, HIGH STREET, GALASHIELS TD1 1SQ
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Roomy town-centre flat with attic conversion potential and easy parking.
Spacious split-level flat with large 23m² living room
A spacious two-bedroom flat set over split levels in the heart of Galashiels’ High Street. The property combines generous principal rooms with practical storage: a 23m² living room, a 22m² principal bedroom with dressing room, and two bathrooms — rare for a town-centre flat. A newly fitted kitchen (late 2024) is included with white goods, and the flat benefits from gas central heating and upgraded double glazing.
The large attic (approx. 60m², ~35m² usable head-height) is fully insulated and houses the boiler and tank, offering genuine conversion potential subject to planning. A car park directly opposite provides straightforward parking via an inexpensive annual residents’ permit (£60). Fast ultrafast broadband and excellent mobile signal make the flat suitable for remote working or commuting; the Borders Railway to Edinburgh is a short walk away.
Buyers should note a couple of material considerations. The location sits within a town-centre, mixed-use environment above retail premises—while the glazing reduces disturbance, some street activity is inevitable. Surface water and river flood data show a medium specific risk (around 0.5% annual likelihood) within 50m; buyers should check SEPA for detailed risk information. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived, which affects local demographics and longer-term area perception.
This flat will suit first-time buyers seeking roomy, well-presented accommodation with scope to add value via the attic, or buyers prioritising a town-centre, commuter-friendly base. The accommodation is largely move-in ready but attractive further to those who can capitalise on the attic conversion or personalise finishes.
