This bright two-bedroom first and upper floor maisonette occupies a Victorian end-terrace and offers a straightforward, low-maintenance home close to Galashiels town centre. The living room provides space for dining, the kitchen is contemporary, and the paved rear garden with an outhouse gives private outdoor space without upkeep. The property is freehold and ready to move into.
At about 635 sq ft the layout is compact but practical, with two bedrooms and a single bathroom suited to a first purchase, couple or commuter. The location is a major benefit: shops, healthcare and leisure facilities are on the doorstep, the town centre is a five-minute walk and the railway station is around ten minutes away with good links to Edinburgh.
There is clear investment potential as a ‘ready-to-go’ rental, but buyers should factor in the local context. The wider area is classified as very deprived and constrained for renters, which can affect long-term capital growth and tenant profile. The maisonette is average-sized for its type and may not suit buyers needing larger living spaces or multiple bathrooms.
Overall this is a well-presented, convenient property for someone seeking an affordable entry on to the property ladder or a straightforward rental let. Early viewing is recommended to assess space and suitability against personal priorities.
