This single lock-up garage on Balbirnie Place offers a compact, low-maintenance asset ideal for secure parking, storage, or a small workshop. Its freehold tenure and roller/sectional front door provide straightforward ownership and easy access for a commuter or investor seeking a simple, revenue-generating unit near central Edinburgh.
Located on the periphery of the city centre, the garage benefits from excellent transport links — tram stop, bus routes and Haymarket station are within walking distance. Nearby landmarks include Murrayfield Stadium and Edinburgh Zoo, while Princes Street and the castle are readily reachable for city access and potential tenant demand.
The unit is utilitarian by design with limited internal headroom and a small footprint, so it is best suited to vehicles, storage or light workshop use rather than conversion to living space. The immediate outlook is onto adjacent garages and a residential block, offering practical seclusion but no scenic views.
Buyers should note the building’s mid-20th-century construction details: detached concrete garages with an asbestos roof are present, so any refurbishment will require appropriate asbestos-safe procedures and costs. The property sits in a very deprived local area classification, which could affect rental yields or resale expectations but may also support steady demand for affordable parking and storage close to the city centre.
