Substantial basement property with paved, private garden in beautiful terrace
12A Hope Street is a substantial basement property which has been used as offices but is well laid out for residential occupation. It extends to 1,505 ft2 (to include the laundry) with three front facing bedrooms. There is a fourth room and a large living room to the rear. The kitchen adjoins the living room which is in an extension overlooking the courtyard. A former laundry on the opposite side of the courtyard offers scope for additional accommodation.
1 to 14 Hope Street is Listed Category B by Historic Environment Scotland and described as "a classic, two storey terrace with basements and attics, built of ashlar and slate, with architraved windows at first floor level and a stone parapet which has partly been taken down. It is believed that the terrace was built by Kennedy and Macintosh in 1847 and that John Chesser was the architect."
