Edinburgh city centre police box with striking paintwork put up for sale

A prime time bite-sized retail opportunity has hit the market in Edinburgh’s busy Pleasance. A brightly painted police box has been listed for sale at £17,500 and has a variety of potential uses.

The blue and purple under-the-sea themed box sits at the cross-junction of Cowgate and Pleasance. The painted octopus sees plenty of vehicle and pedestrian traffic pass through the busy junction daily.

The listing on EG Property Link said: “The property comprises a rarely available freehold opportunity to purchase a traditional former Police Box which would be suitable for a variety of retail uses.

“The Police Box is situated in the sought-after Pleasance district of Edinburgh, occupying a prominent position at the cross-junction where Cowgate meets Pleasance. This busy location enjoys a high volume of passing vehicle and pedestrian trade due to the volume of office, university, retail, sport and leisure facilities all within close proximity. This opportunity would be ideal for a Coffee Kiosk, or any other suitable retailing use.”

The box has electrical and water supply and sits less than half a mile away from Edinburgh’s Waverley Station.

It currently is located beside a Salvation Army across the street from a Travelodge and numerous other cafes, restaurants, pubs and retail shops.
