Ladhope Vale House, Galashiels, TD1 1BT

Exciting opportunity to purchase versatile business premises, centrally located in the heart of Galashiels and a short distance from Galashiels train station.  Most recently used as office premises on the three upper levels and auctioneers and valuers on the lower floor, this property boasts an abundance of space and opportunity.  The external yard area provides ample private off street parking together with access to multiple garages, lock ups and stores.  Residential development may be possible subject to relevant permission being obtained and further enquiries should be made to Scottish Borders Council.  Viewing is essential to appreciate the size and adaptability of this commercial property.

DESCRIPTION:

The property, which has been occupied by two separate businesses independently for over 30 years, spans 4 floors in central Galashiels and can be accessed from the rear, where there is ample vehicular access and parking, or also from the front where there is some limited on road parking.  The front entrance provides access through to the upper three levels of the building where there are multiple offices, storage rooms, WCs and kitchens.   These floors were recently occupied by a local accountancy firm.

The lower level of the property is accessed from the back and also benefits from three garages, a lock up and a separate store situated beneath the bridge.  Most recently run as a thriving antiques business, the lower part of the building comprises a small reception area, office and large auction/display room with WC located off.
