Summary - 1, HILLSIDE DRIVE, GALASHIELS TD1 2HN
4 bed 4 bath Detached
Light-filled layout with eco features and garage parking for modern family life.
Contemporary four-bedroom detached house with high-quality fixtures throughout
Set on a quiet private cul-de-sac on the edge of Galashiels, this contemporary four-bedroom detached home is designed for modern family living. The ground floor centres on a dramatic open-plan kitchen, dining and living area with full-height sliding doors that flow directly onto a low-maintenance deck and lawn — ideal for indoor-outdoor entertaining. A separate lounge, utility and integral garage add practical everyday space.
Upstairs the principal suite is a standout, with a walk-in dressing room, boutique-style en-suite, freestanding bath by the floor-to-ceiling glazing and a private balcony. A second bedroom also benefits from an en-suite and balcony; two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the sleeping accommodation. High-quality finishes, integrated Neff appliances and thoughtful storage give the home a refined, turnkey feel.
The property also scores on sustainability and running costs: fitted solar panels and an EV charging point reduce energy use and future-proof the house for electric vehicles. Fast broadband and good local schooling make it well suited to families who need reliable connectivity and local amenities. The Borders Railway offers a commute to Edinburgh in under an hour for those who work in the city.
Buyers should note a few practical points: the rear garden is described as small-to-average and designed for low maintenance rather than extensive play space. Council Tax is in Band F (higher running costs) and the wider area is recorded as very deprived, which may affect local investment and services. Mobile signal is average. Overall, this is a stylish, energy-efficient family home offering generous internal space and modern fixtures, best suited to families seeking contemporary living with good transport links to Edinburgh.
