This bright two-bedroom maisonette offers an affordable entry into Galashiels with straightforward, practical accommodation. The layout includes a hall, lounge, kitchen, two bedrooms and a shower room — a sensible floorplan suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let landlords.
Set within comfortable walking distance of the town centre and railway station, the flat benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, making it convenient for commuting and working from home. A private rear garden provides outdoor space, while on-street parking is available directly outside.
The building is a Victorian terrace presented in generally good order internally, but there are clear maintenance considerations: the exterior shows signs of damp and mould and the garden requires attention. The area is classified as very deprived, which affects long-term resale and some buyer perceptions, though it also helps keep the purchase price low.
Freehold tenure and a very low council tax band are practical financial positives for buyers. Viewing is recommended to assess room proportions and any refurbishment needs — the property offers solid potential for a first home or a rental with modest investment.
