Rare development opportunity with extensive parking and central-location conversion potential.
Circa 35,698 sq ft across four interlinked Victorian townhouses
Category B Listed — alterations will require listed-building consents
Offices (Class 4) now; change of use to hotel/residential needs planning
10 rear parking spaces, 4 with EV charging, plus 2 garages
Retained period features: cornicing, panelling, cupolas throughout
Sold as whole or in two lots (Nos. 9-11 and No. 12)
Prestigious West End location within Edinburgh UNESCO World Heritage site
Conservation area status likely increases refurbishment costs and timelines
A rare central-West End assembly of four interlinked Category B Listed Victorian townhouses, offered as a whole or in two lots. The portfolio extends to circa 35,698 sq ft across basement to third floors, currently in Class 4 (business) use and well-located for continued commercial operation or a redevelopment scheme subject to consent.
The buildings retain strong period character — cornicing, panelling and cupolas — and occupy a prestigious conservation area within Edinburgh’s UNESCO World Heritage boundary. The site includes substantial parking: ten rear spaces (four with EV charging) plus two garaged spaces, a notable asset in the city centre market and useful for hotel, residential or mixed-use schemes.
Material constraints are clear and should inform any offer: the properties are Category B Listed which will complicate alterations and add consenting and conservation costs. Change of use from offices to residential or hotel would require planning and listed-works consents. The current location classification and surrounding mixed uses support a range of end-uses but expect specialist conservation input and costed proposals.
This opportunity suits investors or developers targeting conversion, refurbishment or continued commercial ownership in a prime address. Buyers should budget for listed-building works, professional heritage advice and planning risk, balanced against the scale, centrality and parking advantages that make this a distinctive West End prospect.
