A compact ground-and-basement commercial unit in a traditional Victorian tenement, located on St Peter’s Buildings close to Bruntsfield and the city centre. The property benefits from a glazed frontage with prominent display windows, roller shutters, and steady vehicular and pedestrian passing trade — well suited to an independent café, boutique or small studio under Class 1A.
Internally the ground floor provides an open retail/sales area with basic fittings and wall-mounted heating; the basement offers ancillary space with natural light and W/C facilities. Standard mains services are connected and the unit is ready for immediate occupation with minor refurbishment, allowing a new occupier to personalise the fit-out quickly.
Key commercial positives include possible 100% business rates relief for qualifying occupiers and strong transport and amenity links nearby. Material negatives: the unit is small (690 sq ft), has no dedicated parking or private outdoor space, and the building shows signs of age with potential damp and general maintenance needs. The location sits within a diverse, somewhat deprived ward, balanced by a cosmopolitan, student-heavy local catchment.
