The property is a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment located in the West End of Edinburgh. The apartment is situated within the Playfair development, a conversion of the historic Donaldson’s School. This location offers proximity to Haymarket train station (0.85km), providing convenient access to Edinburgh city centre and beyond. While specific school details are limited, the presence of Merchiston Castle School (5km) and Cargilfield School (8.57km) suggests schooling options are available, though at a distance.

Based on the provided images, the apartment appears to be in excellent condition. The interior is modern, with a recently renovated kitchen and bathroom. The finishes are high-quality, and the overall presentation is clean and well-maintained.

The property does not include a private garden; it is an apartment within a larger development. However, the development itself appears to have communal green spaces.

The list price of £500,000 requires further analysis in the context of comparable properties. Nearby listings on Donaldson Drive range from £380,000 to over £1,200,000, indicating significant price variation within the development. The lack of sqft information for these comparable properties prevents a precise price per sqft comparison. However, nearby street average prices (e.g., Stanhope Place at £525,000, Stanhope Street at £305,000) provide some context, suggesting the list price falls within a reasonable range for the area, considering the property’s condition and location within the prestigious Playfair development. The significantly higher prices of other properties on Donaldson Drive could be attributed to size, features, or higher floor levels. Further information on the specific features and size of comparable properties would be beneficial for a more precise price evaluation.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
