The property consists of a ground floor and basement mid-terraced grade B listed retail unit as part of a larger 4 storey traditional tenement building of stone construction, surmounted by a pitched and slated roof. The subjects benefit from a full height timber framed and single glazed display window to the front that affords good natural light into the premises, with access to the unit taken through a timber framed and single glazed recessed entrance door.
Internally, the subjects are laid out on the ground floor to provide an open plan sales area with a timber staircase to the rear of the shop that provides access to the basement. A temporary mezzanine is also present above the main sales area that is accessed by way of a steep timber staircase to the rear. The main sales area is constructed by way of a suspended timber floor with a paint overlay, plaster and painted walls and a plaster and painted ceiling with original feature cornicing. Artificial lighting through is provided via pendant lights to the front and recessed ceiling spotlights to the rear. A single glazed window is found to the rear right of the unit providing further natural lighting.
The basement offers good access and excellent storage and consists of a solid floor with a part paint overlay, chipboard covered stud walls and a further plaster and painted ceiling, with lighting being provided again via recessed ceiling spotlights. A small kitchenette with base mounted units and basic W/C accommodation is also present to the rear of the basement.
Location
The subjects are located on the east side of Morningside Road in the affluent Morningside area of Edinburgh.

Morningside benefits from a large catchment area within the south west of Edinburgh such as Bruntsfield, Merchiston, Newington and Fountainbridge.
The subjects benefit from a high volume of pedestrian footfall and passing trade with great transport links, with a number of bus routes going through Morningside Road. Commercial occupiers in close proximity to 79 Morningside Road are a mix of both national and local operators including Round Square Coffee, Hamptons Hairdressing, Morningside Podiatry and Studio One and Cancer Research UK.
