Kelly Archibald and Keller Williams Ext 089 are delighted to present 257 Redford Road, a spacious and flexible family home that perfectly blends village charm with city convenience.
Tucked away in the sought-after Redford area of Colinton, this rarely available 5 bedroom detached family home offers the perfect balance of space, flexibility, and modern living. Thoughtfully designed for today’s lifestyle, it provides generous and adaptable accommodation in a peaceful setting just south of the city centre.
Bright, airy, and beautifully proportioned, the home is ideal for professional families or long-term couples seeking room to grow-or to welcome children returning to the family home. With excellent local schooling, open green spaces, and a strong sense of community, this is a home that supports every stage of family life.
Inside, the ground floor has been thoughtfully designed to create spaces that feel both welcoming and wonderfully adaptable. At the front of the home, sunlight fills the living room and formal dining room, perfect for family gatherings, dinner with friends, or quiet evenings by the fire. To one side, a bedroom currently used as a home office offers a peaceful corner to work or study, while the second ground-floor bedroom provides a comfortable retreat for guests or multi-generational living. A conveniently located shower room completes the ground floor, offering practicality for guests and family alike. To the rear, the spacious kitchen opens directly onto the garden, becoming the natural heart of the home where cooking, conversation, and everyday family life flow effortlessly outdoors on sunny days.
Upstairs, the dormer extension reveals three further bedrooms and a second bathroom. One bedroom is currently used as a home office, while another provides the perfect setting for a children’s playroom or teen hangout space-showcasing the home’s adaptable layout and its capacity to change with your family’s needs, whether that’s space for teenagers, guests, or remote working.
The gardens are a true highlight. Private front and rear gardens offer safe play areas, inviting entertaining spaces, and peaceful corners to unwind. A raised deck is perfect for summer gatherings, while the garden shed provides additional storage or the potential for a home gym, creative studio, or garden office.
Living here means becoming part of the vibrant Colinton community, one of Edinburgh’s most cherished areas. Families enjoy access to excellent schools including Pentland Primary, Colinton Primary, Firrhill High School, George Watson’s College, and Merchiston Castle School. Fitness and leisure options abound, from Craiglockhart Sports Centre to nearby golf clubs, while the Pentland Hills and Water of Leith Walkway offer scenic routes for walking, running, and cycling.
Practicality meets convenience with unrestricted on-street parking, excellent public transport links, and easy access to major supermarkets, Morrisons, Aldi, and Tesco, all within walking distance. For professionals, the city bypass, Edinburgh Airport, and city centre are just a short drive away, making commuting effortless.
At 257 Redford Road, you will find more than just a house, it is a welcoming, highly adaptable family home set within a thriving community, where city convenience and a tranquil suburban lifestyle come together beautifully.
