Edinburgh property: Huge nine bedroom flat which was once a cinema hits the market

A nine bedroom 'rarely available' property located at the top of Easter Road, which was once a well-loved cinema called the Eastway, hit the market yesterday for offers over £550,000.

The unique character property has a wealth of bizarre history formerly a Masonic Lodge, the two storey building has also spent decades as a picture house first known as the Picturedome when it opened in 1912 then the Eastway from 1943.

It was one of the last cinemas in Scotland to use gas lighting inside and closed its doors for the last time in 1961, it was then turned into a supermarket which has resided below ever since.
