Description

Re-Development Opportunity

69 Gala Park comprises a semi detached building in a former Victorian School House in a south facing position and dating back to the late 1800s.

LOCATION
The subjects are located at Gala Park just west of the town centre. 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.

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.

Within recent years Galashiels has benefitted from considerable public and private investment. Developments have included the Gala Water Retail Park, two supermarkets to the east of the town centre and significant transport infrastructure works including the Galashiels Inner Relief Road.

DESCRIPTION

The building is of traditional construction with whinstone elevations and a pitched roof clad in slate. Windows predominantly comprise single glazed sash and case units. Rainwater goods comprise cast iron units.

Garden grounds are enclosed with the main garden area to the rear laid to patio and lawn with mature trees and bushes. There is an electric substation situated within the rear garden and has a right of access. Access to the rear garden is via a public car park.
