A spacious two-bedroom flat on Galashiels High Street, recently renovated and ready to move into. The home combines generous principal rooms with modern fixtures — a large living room, a high-standard kitchen fitted in late 2024, and two bathrooms — making it especially suitable for first-time buyers, commuting professionals or buy-to-let investors seeking strong rental appeal. Fast ultrafast broadband, excellent mobile signal and a short walk to Galashiels train station add practical commuter advantages.
One of the property’s standout assets is the large attic: approximately 60m2 of storage with around 35m2 of usable head-height, fully insulated and containing the boiler and water tank. This space offers clear conversion potential (subject to consents) to increase living area or create workable home-office accommodation. The flat also benefits from substantial built-in storage throughout and generous room sizes (principal bedroom c.22m2); overall internal area is around 112m2 (c.1,223sqft).
Be candid about the drawbacks: the flat fronts the High Street above retail units, so despite upgraded double glazing there is potential for street noise and activity. Flood-risk mapping shows a medium specific risk for both surface water and river flooding within 50m (approx. 0.5% annual chance) — buyers should check SEPA and consider insurance implications. Tenure is not specified in the details provided, so purchasers must confirm tenure/ownership and carry out standard searches. Parking is available via a large public car park opposite with an annual permit (approx. £60), rather than private on-plot parking.
In short, this is a well-presented, characterful central-flat with outsize attic potential and strong connectivity to Edinburgh via the Borders Railway. It suits buyers who value town-centre convenience, generous internal proportions and future extension possibilities, while being willing to assess local flood risk and confirm tenure details.
