Two young investors from Edinburgh transformed a West End garage into a plush one-bedroom flat – and it's now on the market for more than a quarter of a million pounds.
Craig Jenkinson (25), from the Jewel, took on the garage as a renovation project, with business partner Sean Alexander.
The pair purchased the lock-up on Canning Street Lane, in December 2020 for £175,000, and after transforming it into a plush home, it’s back on the market for offers over £259,000.
They applied for a 'change of use' from the council, to turn it into a residence, and once this was granted they got to work on developing the place.
It took six months to turn the garage into a ‘meticulously refurbished’ one-bedroom property.

The property is described by Ralph Hendrie Legal as a ‘stylish’ home set within the 'charming mews of the heart of Edinburgh’s West End.'
While it might still slightly resemble a garage from the outside, once inside the home is luxurious and modern.
The property listing states: “From the cobbled lane, you step in directly into the open plan living and kitchen space. The vast floor area allows various furniture arrangements and a stylish kitchen is tucked into one corner.
“Defined by an impressive peninsular unit which offers storage, work surfaces and an electric hob. A full range of integrated appliances, finishes the streamlined, sleek feel.
“To the rear is a stylish double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and next door is a lavish four-piece bathroom, featuring oversized slate floor tiles, a stunning freestanding bath, and a walk-in shower with black aluminum framed glass screen.
“A large understair cupboard provides additional storage and electric heating is fitted throughout.”
