Once known as Leith Hospital in Edinburgh, this modern residential conversion is now home to a two-bedroom flat in The Shore, Leith, where vibrant bars and popular restaurants can be found in abundance.

A hospital was first founded in this location in 1614, however it was later demolished in 1822 before a replacement was constructed later in the 18th century. In 1846, it was finally agreed that this institution would be named “Leith Hospital” and after treating the local community for many years, the hospital closed in 1987 to allow for residential units to be developed, one of which is available today.

This property is available for offers over £285,000 and is marketed by Rettie & Co – Edinburgh Sales, via OnTheMarket.

As well as private parking, this property benefits from high ceilings and contemporary interior design finishes accented by large sash windows which welcome plenty of natural light.

The hallway leads to the spacious open-plan kitchen, living and dining area while the first of two double bedrooms is connected to its own ensuite. A separate main bathroom is also available while a generous utility room provides convenient storage.
