Guthrie Gardens

Our Guthrie Gardens development is a magnificent B Listed building on the south side of Edinburgh in Liberton. Designed by AG Sidney Mitchell in 1885 after being commissioned by Dr Thomas Guthrie, the preacher and philanthropist who founded the Ragged School movement, providing food, clothing and education for poor children.

Square and Crescent have submitted a planning & listed building application to convert the building back into residential use to provide 41 units over 39,000 sqft. There will be a balanced mix of 1,2 and 3 bedrooms apartments ranging from 800 to 1,500 sqft, with both private and communal gardens and private parking. The development will consist of 30 apartments within the existing listed building and 11 new build apartments in a sensitively designed scheme. We hope to receive our planning & listed building permission in early 2017.
