* Freehold
**Description**
16/3 Channel Street is a first floor flat having just undergone a schedule of
decoration by the current tenants. It is situated in a popular residential
area of Galashiels and is believed to have been constructed in the 1800’s. The
property is of traditional stone construction, under a roof clad in slate. The
property is believed to have no external garden grounds. Internally, the
accommodation is spacious, flexible and is decorated to a good modern
standard.
**Location**
The property is situated in the town centre. Although the building is situated
close to a relatively busy street in its elevated position there is little
noise from the road/pedestrians. Channel Street and the surrounding streets
are popular for house hunters and specifically investors looking for buy - to -
lets. With a tenant already in situ this property would be an ideal addition
to a portfolio.
Situated in the heart of the Scottish Borders, the flourishing town of
Galashiels undoubtedly offers the most extensive range of amenities in the
area, with an excellent variety of shops, supermarkets, pre - school, primary
and secondary schooling, and superb sporting, leisure and recreational
facilities. The Heriot - Watt Scottish Borders Campus has a thriving student
community, and there is a good selection of restaurants and bars in the town
and surrounding area. Galashiels is easily commutable to Edinburgh via the A7
or A68 trunk roads, and airports are located at Edinburgh and Newcastle. The
east coast main line runs from Berwick Upon Tweed, and The Borders Railway
which opened in September 2015 provides a direct service to Edinburgh in
approximately 1 hour from Galashiels and nearby Tweedbank.
On a broader note, the Scottish Borders region offers a quality of life that
is second to none and in an area of 1800 square miles there is certainly
plenty of space to enjoy our beautiful unspoilt countryside and individual
towns. Leave the congestion and overpricing behind and discover for yourself
what a fantastic place the Borders is to live, work and play. Home to world
class activities and attractions, it’s no wonder that the area is so popular
with visitors who come here to enjoy mountain biking at Glentress, salmon
fishing on the Tweed, walking in our hills and forests or diving off the
Berwickshire coast. The area is also known for its’ spectacular Common
Ridings, when whole communities come together to celebrate each town’s
individual heritage and to cheer on hundreds of horses and riders every
summer. The Borders is also a heartland of rugby in Scotland, with the names
of our local towns being synonymous with the game and of course Melrose being
the original home of rugby sevens. From our historic towns to rural villages,
wherever you go you will be struck by the warmth of the welcome in our
communities and the real pride people have in living in this wonderful part of
the world. With good transport links, an excellent education system and
stunning countryside, we encourage purchasers from outwith the area that a
move to the Scottish Borders really could be the best move of their lives.
