3 Forming part of a Victorian schoolhouse development in desirable Leith Links, this two-bedroom top-floor duplex flat represents a rare opportunity to acquire a stylish and contemporary home with all the charm of a period property. The B-listed collegiate gothic-style building was constructed in 1885 as an annex to Leith Academy Secondary School and has been sympathetically converted into residential accommodation, whilst preserving the tremendous proportions and natural light synonymous with the era. 4 Braemore Sales & Lettings Braemore Sales & Lettings 5
