Set within an impressive early-1800s sandstone former Co‑operative building, this one-bedroom upper flat brings genuine period character to everyday living. High ceilings, a bay window and ornate woodwork create a bright, spacious feel across the property’s 562 sq ft; communal low‑maintenance gardens and off‑street parking add practical benefits rarely found at this price point.
The flat is offered as a freehold and can be sold fully furnished by negotiation, making it straightforward for a first-time buyer or investor to move in quickly. Broadband speeds are average but mobile signal is excellent, and local shops, a post office and transport links are all within walking distance.
Buyers should note the area is classified as very deprived, which may affect long‑term resale values and local services. The building’s age brings charm but also potential maintenance needs; buyers should budget for ongoing upkeep and consider a survey to check services and structure.
Overall this is a characterful, affordable entry into the Galston market — ideal for a purchaser seeking period features and central convenience who is comfortable with some renovation and the realities of the local area.
