Many Edinburgh flats occupy buildings that were originally constructed as larger houses, townhouses or other types of property and subsequently subdivided into separate homes.
Converted flats can therefore have less predictable layouts than purpose-built apartments. Original staircases, fireplaces, door openings and room proportions may have been altered as part of earlier conversions.
Renovation often presents opportunities to rationalise these layouts while restoring surviving period features and introducing modern kitchens, bathrooms and building services.
