Description
Moat House is a prominent semi-detached 19th Century building situated to the south of Gala Park. The building is of traditional construction with whinstone elevations under a pitched roof clad in slate with bay windows to the ground and first floor of the front elevation and dormer window projections to the front and rear of the attic level.
There is a two-storey extension (14B Gala Park) to the rear which is understood to have been constructed around 1990. This is of conventional cavity construction externally rendered with a dry dash finish under a collared rafter pitched roof clad in interlocking concrete tiles incorporating Velux rooflights to the west pitch and photovoltaic solar panels fitted to the east roof slope. The roof is finished with PVC verge units. The soffits and fascias are of timber specification with a stained finish.
Windows to the extension comprise timber framed double glazed sealed units. The original building retains single glazed timber framed sash windows.

The accommodation currently comprises:
Ground Floor:
Entrance vestibule; spacious hall with waiting area and stairs to upper levels; door to connecting passage to rear extension; boardroom, reception office, general office/admin office with through access to kitchen with two walk-in cupboards off; further meeting room, WC; disabled WC.

The property is set back from the public pavement with central footpath and low-level wall around the front garden areas. The footpath to the west of the main building leads to the grounds to the rear which are landscaped with area of lawn set at a higher-level sloping down to the rear door of the extension. There are areas of mature shrubs to the borders with a flagged path to the west and south providing disabled/wheelchair access.
Location
The subjects are located at Gala Park just west of the town centre. It is a mixed use area largely residential with non-domestic occupiers nearby including Scottish Borders Council Offices, Masonic Hall, Hayward Scout Centre, The Volunteer Hall, ‘Sew for You’, Amber Hair Design, Poppy Rue Hair and Border Vets.
Galashiels is generally considered to be the principal administrative, retail and social centre for the region effectively serving a population of in excess of 115,000. Galashiels and District has a population of approximately 14,970 according to the 2021 Census, a slight increase of that recorded at the 2011 Census (14,590).
There is a significant student population within the town with campuses of Heriot Watt University and Borders College. Borders General Hospital also has close training ties with a number of the Edinburgh universities.
