2 bed flat for sale

St John Street, Galashiels TD1

Situated in the heart of Galashiels, 19 St John’s Street is ideally placed for access to a wide range of local amenities including shops, cafes, supermarkets, and leisure facilities. The town benefits from strong transport links, with the Galashiels railway station offering regular services to Edinburgh via the Borders Railway, making it a suitable location for commuters. The area is also well served by schools, health services, and attractive open spaces, including riverside walks and nearby countryside.

This ground floor flat offers a rare combination of generous internal space, charming period character and private garden features that make it stand out in today’s market. The large sitting room is a particularly impressive space, with its high ceilings and large windows allowing natural light to flood in. It's an ideal room for relaxing or entertaining, with plenty of room for both lounge furniture and a dining area. The neutral décor and well maintained finishes throughout the property create a move in ready feel while leaving scope for personalisation.

Both bedrooms are excellent in size, offering flexible accommodation that would suit a variety of lifestyles. Whether needed as two full-time bedrooms, a bedroom and guest room, or as a home office or hobby space, the layout supports modern living. The hallway is wider and brighter than typically found in flats of this style, providing a warm welcome and a natural flow through the property. The bathroom is neatly presented with a clean finish, and the kitchen situated to the rear of the property offers practical workspace, garden views, and direct outdoor access.

Perhaps most appealing of all is the rear garden, a rarely available feature in similar ground floor flats. Enclosed and sheltered, it provides a private and peaceful outdoor space perfect for morning coffee, evening relaxation, or low maintenance gardening. The garden enhances the sense of space and offers additional appeal for buyers seeking some outdoor lifestyle alongside the benefits of a central town location. Altogether, this is a well rounded and highly appealing property offering convenience, comfort, and character in one of the Borders’ most accessible towns.
