Summary - 43, Douglas Street TD1 3BX
2 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Private rear entrance and two outhouses for storage
Set on Douglas Street in Galashiels, this two-bedroom upper maisonette offers an affordable freehold opportunity for first-time buyers or investors. The flat benefits from a private entrance, rear garden with two outhouses, gas central heating and double glazing — practical features that make the home immediately liveable while you plan improvements.
The layout is straightforward: a bright sitting room and adjoining kitchen on the lower level, shower room and storage, with two double bedrooms above. Room proportions are generous for the price bracket and the property totals about 777 sq ft, giving scope to modernise and add value.
Material considerations are clear: the home requires renovation and retains dated 1970s internal finishes. The EPC is rated D and the stone walls are assumed uninsulated, so insulating and updating heating or wiring should be factored into any purchase budget. The local area is classified as very deprived, which may affect resale dynamics but also supports rental demand and affordability.
Practical positives include a private garden, two outhouses, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for commuting or letting. With direct rail links to Edinburgh and local amenities within walking distance, this property suits buyers seeking a project with good transport connections and immediate rental or occupancy potential.
