Summary - 55, HIGH STREET TD1 1RZ
1 bed 1 bath Commercial Property
Spacious shop with strong footfall and flexible layout for retail or showroom use.
Prominent street-facing display windows and recessed glazed entrance
A prominent ground-floor retail unit on Galashiels High Street with strong frontage and large display windows, providing immediate street-level visibility and regular footfall from the A7 corridor. The main sales area is open-plan (NIA 127.64 sq m / 1,373 sq ft) with generous rear storage, two changing booths, staff facilities and a delivery access route — a flexible layout suitable for retailer, showroom or studio use.
The building is traditional whinstone with a pitched slate roof and a substantial rear extension under a recently refurbished flat roof. Practical details include an EPC C37 and a Rateable Value of £11,100 (effective April 2023). Services are present (electricity, water, drainage) but were not tested; heating is currently limited to electric wall units although gas central heating pipework and radiators remain and could potentially be reconnected.
Key commercial advantages are the shop’s prominent window display, easy pedestrian access, nearby transport links (Borders Railway to Edinburgh from Galashiels) and proximity to local civic and student catchments. Notable cautions for buyers: the surrounding area registers high deprivation levels, the tenure is not formally confirmed (presumed ownership following abolition of feudal tenure), some services and systems have not been investigated, and the current heating arrangement may need upgrading for some occupiers. Suitable for an investor or owner-operator prepared to manage basic remedial or reconfiguration work to maximise the shop frontage and internal layout.
