Broughton Place
Listed Building · Full Refurbishment
Broughton Place
New Town, Edinburgh · 2025
The brief
A New Town basement flat, bought needing modernisation, and a client open to doing it properly rather than quickly. What started as a refurbishment scope grew, with our involvement, into a complete transformation of the lower floor.
The work
Working beneath a listed New Town townhouse meant every structural decision, from the cellar tanking to the patio extension and the new garden office, needed Heritage Scotland's sign-off. We planned the sequence so approvals never stalled the trades on site, re-floored and re-plumbed throughout, added a new en-suite, and turned three unused cellars into a laundry room and a dining space clients now use every week.
The client's words
“It was a distinct pleasure to work with Allied who were creative, very empathetic and patient, and did not use the evolution of the project to maximise profit. In 30+ years of doing refurbishments in more than one country I have never had such a positive view of contractors at the end of the project. Their can-do approach is really quite unique.”
