- Gas central heating; good broadband and mobile signal

This tidy two-bedroom semi-detached house on a generous corner plot offers an attractive turn-key option for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. Recently refreshed with modern fixtures, gas central heating and double glazing, the home delivers low-maintenance living with easily managed front, side and rear gardens and off-street parking.
Internally the layout is straightforward: bright lounge, fitted kitchen with integrated oven and space for appliances, two double bedrooms and a well-finished shower room. The property benefits from good broadband and mobile signal, and is a short walk from Galashiels town centre, schools and the Borders Railway interchange for direct services to Edinburgh.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, council tax Band B (relatively cheap) and no flooding risk. However, the surrounding area is classed as very deprived and local demographics include ageing communities and constrained renters, which may affect long-term rental demand and resale dynamics. The house, while presented as ready to move into, sits in a neighbourhood of mixed condition; buyers seeking premium finishes should allow for optional cosmetic upgrades.
Overall this property suits buyers wanting an affordable, low-upkeep entry into the Galashiels market, those seeking an investor let near transport links, or downsizers wanting single-level living on a manageable plot. Viewings recommended to appreciate the garden space, layout and local position within walking distance of amenities.
