A police box on
Pleasance, Edinburgh, described by the sellers as having distinct garden office potential comes up for sale in a
live-streamed commercial property auction later this month.
The box- which has a guide price of £5,000 - is currently located off the busy crossroads between Cowgate, Pleasance, Holyrood Road and St Mary’s Street within the popular Old Town district of Edinburgh.
Hannah Barnett, commercial surveyor at Shepherd Chartered Surveyors, said: “The police box presents a unique opportunity to acquire a sought-after piece of street furniture in an ever-popular location in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town. Originally designed and constructed in the 1930s, this iconic feature of Edinburgh’s history could be re-purposed and relocated to another location to provide for example, a garden office, bar or a coffee kiosk, food stall or something else entirely.”
The box is offered for sale as a moveable item with no interest in the land upon which it presently sits. Any purchaser wishing to keep the box in its current location should liaise with City of Edinburgh Council regarding the possibility of entering a ground lease. There are currently no supplies of services to the box.
The auction will be held on October 17 at 2:30pm. For more details go to www.shepherd.co.uk/commercial-auctions
