We are delighted to bring to the market this truly unique two-bedroom detached cottage located in a much sought-after residential location, just a stone's throw from Galashiels town centre and within easy reach of all local amenities, facilities and transport links. Glen Cottage was formerly the local police house with overnight cell, before being converted into a full-time residence in the 1970's.

This characterful property boasts a spacious internal layout and makes the most ideal downsizing opportunity. There are low maintenance landscaped gardens to the front, sides and rear as well as a double driveway and large Fjord Hus double garage with self-contained studio above. The property further benefits from double glazing, modern fixtures & fittings, multi-fuel stove and gas central heating.
