    Location

    The subjects occupy a prominent position on the west side of Newington Road, one of the principal arterial routes connecting Edinburgh?s popular south side with the city centre, the Old Town and the wider central business district. The property sits close to the junction with Salisbury Place, within a well-established and highly visible commercial parade benefiting from consistent passing pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
    Newington is a densely populated and sought-after mixed-use neighbourhood, characterised by traditional tenement properties, ground floor retail and service accommodation, and strong local amenity provision. The surrounding area is particularly popular with students, young professionals and city-centre commuters, supported by the nearby University of Edinburgh campuses, residential catchment and regular bus services along Newington Road. Nearby occupiers include a mix of independent local businesses and national operators such as Boots, Santander, Pizza Hut and Edinburgh Dental Clinic, reinforcing the location?s established retail and service-led character.
    Description

    The property forms the ground floor of a traditional tenement building and has most recently been occupied by a successful cosmetics and beauty business. The existing configuration is particularly well suited to treatment-based occupiers, including beauty, aesthetics, wellness, therapy, medical, dental, hair and specialist service providers, while also offering flexibility for a variety of retail, showroom, studio or office-style uses, subject to the necessary consents.
    Internally, the unit provides a welcoming front reception/sales area with a freestanding treatment room to the rear left. A short, stepped transition leads through to a surprisingly spacious rear section, currently arranged as an open-plan area previously accommodating three make-up stations, together with two further private treatment rooms positioned to the right and far left. Kitchen/tea preparation facilities, WC accommodation and a useful storage cupboard are located to the rear, providing a practical layout for occupiers requiring a mix of customer-facing space, private rooms and back-of-house provision.
    Externally, the property retains an attractive traditional shopfront, with a large display window positioned to the right of a recessed glazed entrance door. The frontage provides good visibility to passing trade and is protected by a metal security gate.
