21-23 St Leonard’s Lane is located within Edinburgh’s popular Newington district, approximately 1 mile southeast of the city centre. Newington is a vibrant area which is home to Edinburgh’s most attractive landmarks including the Meadows, Holyrood Park and Arthur’s Seat. The area is characterised by a mix of traditional tenement blocks, modern student accommodation, cafes, bars, shops and amenities. St Leonard’s Lane is accessed from St Leonard’s Street which is one of Newington’s main arterial roads. Surrounding occupiers include Holyrood Distillery and Police Scotland.
The premises comprise a unique ground floor retail warehouse which is single storey. The property is accessed from a relatively small shop front which then extends into a larger open plan layout within the courtyard to the rear of the tenement flats. Historically the building has benefitted from vehicular access at the front elevation and this has been altered to create the current retail frontage.
