Edinburgh property: Prestigious flat hits market looking over Donaldson's school

An Edinburgh flat has hit the market with next door views over one of the city's most beautiful buildings.

Part of a stunning Victorian terrace, the two-bedroom property on the top floor looks out not just on the quaint West End street below, but also over Donaldson's school.

The former school for the deaf and blind has since been converted into luxury apartments, however the listed building has been kept almost entirely how it was when first built.

With the Donaldson's flats themselves costing around £1 million, this property across the road is the ideal alternative, offering views of the school for more than half the price.

On the marker for offers over £395,000, the flat is accessed by a grand hallway in the Victorian terrace, and has two living areas as well as one decent sized bathroom.

The main living and dining area has sloped ceilings due to the top floor design, but also includes an adorable dining alcove with Victorian windows looking straight out onto the school.

The views are incredible (Simpson and Marwick)

Coming with a modern kitchen and all the necessary facilities, there are two large bedrooms, one of which has kept its historic original fireplace.

Being on the top floor, the flat is flooded with natural light, and even has a skylight at the entrance to the property.

Speaking about the property, Simpson and Marwick said: Forming part of an elegant Victorian terraced property, 14/3 Magdala Crescent is a superb 2 bedroom second (top) floor flat peacefully located in the heart of Edinburgh's popular and affluent West End.

There are two impressive bedrooms (Simpson and Marwick)

"The property lies within walking distance of all the amenities and attractions of the city centre. The interior is bright and generously proportioned throughout and offers impressive accommodation that is tastefully presented throughout.

"Some particular selling points are stripped and varnished floorboards, attractive fireplaces, cupola in the dining hall, and a spacious, private cupboard at ground level. The property also benefits from a stunning outlook and delightful, beautifully maintained communal gardens to the front."
