KEYS TO KNOW

Where is it: Playfair at Donaldson’s, Wester Coates, Edinburgh.

What is it: A chic studio apartment with luxury fittings in an iconic period building. Good points: There can’t be many studio flats with access to beautiful landscaped gardens in the heart of the city. Walking distance to Haymarket and easy access to the airport. The studio has quirky interiors with a stone vaulted ceiling, rather than the grandeur of the rest of the building.

Bad points: The apartment is set low in the building so you are unlikely to have the best views and it doesn’t offer a huge amount of interior space.

Price: Fixed price £247,500.
