Spacious civic building with high ceilings and flexible use potential.
19th‑century B‑listed former church with notable Gothic features
This substantial 19th-century, B‑listed church and halls occupy a prominent High Street position in Galashiels, offering dramatic vaulted spaces, arched windows and civic stone detailing. Internally the layout provides a large nave with gallery, chancel, vestry, two halls, kitchens, storage and WC accommodation — ideal for community use, events or creative conversion subject to consents. Basic services are connected (gas, electricity, mains water and drainage) and two gas boilers supply heating.
The building’s listed status and E EPC rating are important considerations: B‑listing preserves historic features and will complicate alterations, and the E rating signals energy inefficiency that may need investment. Conversion to residential or alternative commercial uses is possible but will require planning and listed‑building consents as well as upgrades to insulation, services and possibly accessibility.
Positioned in a busy town centre near public transport, shops and the Borders Campus, the property benefits from excellent mobile and broadband connectivity. The surrounding area is socially and economically mixed (rated very deprived), which may influence potential uses, funding eligibility, grant opportunities or lettings strategy. No private garden is present; external area is a paved public plaza.
This is a specialist opportunity for an investor, community organisation or developer experienced with listed buildings. Expect significant repair, compliance and consent work but also strong architectural character and flexible large-volume spaces that suit cultural, educational, leisure or bespoke residential schemes.
