Lothian House is the iconic landmark Art Deco building in Edinburgh, imposing itself on bustling Lothian Road, in the city centre. The building, designed by Stewart Kaye in 1935, is a mergence of the monumental with the simple geometry of 1930s architecture. The gigantic sandstone architraves blend the building firmly into its familiar and traditional location, while its iconic steel frame windows offer it a feeling of modernity.
Category B listed, in 1983 the entire building was modernised and converted into private residential apartments with its own 'leisure suite'' in the basement, while retaining a redesigned cinema and shops at street level.
Accessed by lift from the well-maintained ground floor foyer with its secure entry system, Number 72 is a fourth floor, one bedroom apartment with dramatic and enviable views across Lothian Road to Edinburgh Castle. In pristine condition, it will make an excellent pied-à-terre, or secure financial investment, due to its location and consequent appeal to the letting market.
All rooms can be entered from the welcoming hall that has a large store cupboard. The delightful east facing living room, with its pair of three quarter height steel framed windows, offers a stunning view towards Edinburgh Castle, thus making it an irresistible room. The adjoining kitchen has both wall and floor storage, work surfaces with tiled splashbacks, integrated and slot-in appliances and a dining bar. There is a double bedroom, again with breathtaking views across the rooftops and chimney pots of Edinburgh and a tiled bathroom with three piece suite and shower over the bath.
The apartment has both double glazing and gas fired central heating and benefits from loft storage space that is reached from the hall and there is also the benefit of a communal laundry room within the building with a number of washing/ drying machines.
The factoring charge is approximately £100 per month.
Leisure Suite
Lothian House was converted from offices into 88 exclusive private apartments in 1983, and, contemporaneously, a swimming pool and recreation facilities were developed in the basement. By 2014, the entire facility required refurbishment, consequently it was closed and the opinions of the apartment owners were sought and a comprehensive affordable plan was drawn up for its renaissance that was delivered, opening at the end of September 2019.
The Leisure Suite, belonging to all the apartment owners, comprises: swimming pool; steam room and sauna; gymnasium; games room; recreation area and quiet room. The Leisure Suite is now run as a domestic Private Members Club, with Category 1 membership exclusively restricted to owners and their friends and family; Category 2 membership allows long stay tenants within Lothian House to also join and use these facilities, if they meet the stipulated conditions.
