Summary - RAEBURN, OATLANDS TERRACE, GALASHIELS TD1 3DB
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious Edwardian detached house with large gardens and strong renovation potential.
Elevated plot with far-reaching town and hillside views
Set on an elevated plot in Raeburn, this substantial Edwardian detached house delivers far-reaching town and hillside views from its upper windows. The flexible layout provides three double bedrooms, three principal reception rooms (one could become a fourth bedroom) and generous gardens wrapping front, side and rear — rare for a town location. A garage and mature planted beds add practical value for family life and outdoor living.
The house is presented in neat and tidy order but does require upgrading and modernisation throughout. That presents a clear opportunity to reconfigure living spaces, modernise the kitchen and bathrooms, and add contemporary finishes to increase comfort and long-term value. Early inspection is recommended to appreciate the scale, high ceilings and period features such as bay windows and chimneys.
Practical considerations: the property is freehold with a large total floor area (about 1,432 sq ft) and sits in the St Peter's Primary School catchment, convenient for families. Broadband and mobile signal are strong. However, the local area records high deprivation and council tax is described as expensive; prospective buyers should factor renovation costs and local services into their budget.
This home will suit a family or buyer seeking a substantial, characterful property with scope to personalise. For someone prepared to invest in targeted refurbishment, the elevated position, versatile accommodation and large gardens offer strong long-term potential.
