Flat 56 1 Donaldson Drive, West End, Edinburgh, EH12 5FS

McEwan Fraser Legal is delighted to present to the market this spacious two-bedroom, two-bathroom duplex apartment, forming part of the iconic Playfair development. A remarkable modern reimagining of the former Donaldson's School, Playfair has transformed one of Edinburgh's most important landmark buildings into an exceptional residential development, combining historic character with contemporary luxury. The apartment benefits from two private parking spaces, one of which is equipped with an EV charger.

Internally, the apartment is presented in excellent condition and has been upgraded beyond the builder's original specification. The accommodation is centred around a superb semi-open-plan kitchen and living space, with a beautiful bespoke bookcase providing an impressive amount of additional storage. The living room features a striking dual-height ceiling and an abundance of natural light, while the generous floor area allows for a variety of furniture arrangements, offering considerable flexibility for both everyday living and entertaining.

The quality of the finish becomes particularly apparent in the bespoke designer kitchen, which features a comprehensive range of wall-mounted and floor-standing units, complemented by a central island. Corian worksurfaces and Siemens integrated appliances add to the high-quality specification, while the overall layout creates a stylish and highly practical space. A contemporary bathroom is also located on this level, featuring a modern suite and partial tiling.

An internal staircase leads to the first-floor landing, where both double bedrooms are located. Bedroom one is a generous mezzanine-style room with integrated storage, ample space for a full suite of freestanding furniture and a stylish en-suite shower room. Bedroom two is a further well-proportioned double bedroom with a large integrated wardrobe.

For warmth, comfort and security, the apartment benefits from central heating, double glazing and a secure entry system.

One of the outstanding features of life at Playfair is the exceptional range of communal facilities available exclusively to residents. The development benefits from a concierge service, as well as elegant communal spaces including the boutique Club Room and Chapel Room, providing residents with attractive spaces in which to work, socialise or simply relax. The development is set within approximately 16 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, while the internal courtyard provides a peaceful haven in the heart of Edinburgh.

The location combines the tranquillity and prestige of this remarkable development with easy access to Edinburgh city centre and an excellent range of transport links, local amenities and recreational facilities. With its impressive living space, high-quality specification, private parking and exceptional resident facilities, this is a particularly attractive opportunity to acquire a stylish home within one of Edinburgh's most distinctive residential developments.
