Located in Edinburgh’s West End, The Crescent is set in the elegant grounds of Donaldson School which has now been transformed into luxury homes. This upmarket development is one of the most desirable in Scotland. Owners of the Crescent express their joy at being able to enjoy the open spaces with all 18 acres of the estate gardens expertly maintained by a team of gardeners. They describe being able to leave their property, call on an elevator and jump into their car without needing to go outside on a blustery Scottish day as very convenient, especially when on their way out for dinner. They also love that they can walk into town, take a Tram for work or for travel or even just pick up groceries and pop for a coffee at one of the many small independent coffee shops nearby. On Rugby weekends they can enjoy a drink in one of the local Murrayfield pubs, attending fixtures within a gentle 20 min stroll with no travel worries to get home afterwards. With large full height windows overlook the magnificent architecture of Donaldson School, living on The Crescent is a sight to behold. On those crisp winter morning you are able to enjoy views over the snow covered Pentland Hills with a hot coffee and relax looking at a stunning view whilst on warmer days you can draw back the huge doors to let in the fresh air into the living space.
