“Dating back to 1928, the former school is an imposing three-storey pentagon-shaped building retaining much of its original character including the magnificent bell tower, Art Deco detailing and cast-iron entrance gates with the inscription boys and girls.
“The rarely available duplex apartment is one of the largest properties in the development and is partly formed from the former assembly hall and gymnasium. With its loft-style interiors and exposed steel girders, the stunning open plan living-dining-kitchen has an industrial chic appearance.
“The current owner has created beautiful interiors that feature contemporary furnishings, designer light fittings and luxurious bathrooms. Not only does the property have direct access to Leith Links but there are also two residents’ inner courtyard gardens.
“The property benefits from an allocated private parking space and a secure storeroom within the gated development. Presented to the market in a walk-in condition, the apartment provides luxury city living with an excellent range of local amenities and waterfront restaurants and cafés on the doorstep.”
