2 Bed Flat, Single Let, Galashiels, TD1 1RZ £75,000

Externally, the building retains its historic charm with traditional stonework and tall sash-style windows. The roofline and chimney stacks were visually inspected and appear in reasonable condition, consistent with properties of this age and style. Despite its age, the structure remains solid and offers a warm character that newer builds often lack.

The flat's position above commercial premises does not compromise its residential quality, as the area combines business and residential use harmoniously. With five other residential units in the building, there is a sense of community while also offering sufficient privacy. The building likely operates under a shared maintenance agreement, common in such blocks, which helps in preserving the overall condition of communal areas.

Overall, the property's blend of period character, central location, and practical interior layout makes it a strong contender in the current property market. It would appeal to a variety of buyers including young professionals, investors seeking rental income, or older buyers looking for a low-maintenance home in a connected town setting.
