This three-bedroom mid-terraced house in Innerleithen offers a straightforward, affordable entry into the Borders market. Built in the 1950s with about 925 sq ft over two storeys, the property has solid bones, private front and rear gardens, and off-street parking — a rare combination for a town terrace. It presents clear scope to modernise and personalise the interior to contemporary standards.
Internally there is a dual-aspect sitting room, a fitted kitchen with included appliances, three double bedrooms with fitted storage, and a single family shower room. Practical features include mains gas central heating, UPVC double glazing and FTTP broadband. The energy rating is D (64) with modest potential improvement to C (72).
Important negatives are straightforward: the house needs renovation and updating throughout, and the surrounding area is described as very deprived with a local classification of hard-pressed rented terraces. Buyers should expect cosmetic and possible systems‑level work. Council Tax sits at a low Band B for 2025/26, which helps running costs.
Location is a strong practical selling point — walkable to the high street, local amenities, primary schooling and direct access to Tweed Valley countryside, mountain‑biking and walking trails. This house will suit first‑time buyers who want a low‑entry purchase they can improve over time, or investors looking for a centrally located rental, provided they budget for renovation and consider the local market dynamics.
