Occupying a prominent position on bustling Leith Walk, this traditional ground-floor commercial property offers an exciting opportunity for retailers, service providers, investors, or developers. Forming part of a handsome sandstone tenement, it benefits from direct pavement access, a wide glazed frontage, and excellent exposure to passing pedestrian, tram, and road traffic.

The ground-floor accommodation extends to approximately 47.4 square metres (510 square feet) and is currently configured as a spacious front shop with extensive display and counter space. A central hall leads to a separate WC and a naturally illuminated rear store/workshop, offering useful operational flexibility.

A significant addition is the extensive basement, which comprises two rooms, a separate storage area, a fireplace, and a window overlooking the rear garden. Although requiring extensive renovation, this substantial lower level offers considerable scope for storage, workshop use, or possible redevelopment, subject to all necessary consents.

Leith Walk is one of Edinburgh’s busiest and most distinctive commercial thoroughfares, connecting the city centre with Leith and its historic waterfront. Unlike many traditional high streets, it has retained an impressive concentration of shops, cafés, restaurants, bars, and independent businesses. This thriving commercial environment, combined with the exceptionally dense surrounding residential population, provides a substantial local customer base and strong passing footfall. Regular buses and trams run directly along Leith Walk, offering convenient links to the city centre, Edinburgh Airport, and Newhaven. The tram route also places the property on a key visitor corridor leading to Leith’s waterfront and the Royal Yacht Britannia, helping to attract additional tourist traffic.

The property may offer potential for conversion to residential accommodation. Any change of use or alterations would be subject to planning permission, building warrants, and all other necessary consents.
