# Property snapshot 51 Columba Road, Blackhall, Edinburgh — a recently renovated four-bedroom semi-detached family home, offered for sale at offers over £825,000. The property combines an original sandstone façade with a contemporary anthracite extension. Renovations and an architect-designed addition have created a modern family layout while retaining traditional proportions.
# Layout and interior highlights At the heart of the house is a double-height, open-plan kitchen, living and dining area. Floor-to-ceiling glazing and a large rooflight supply significant natural light and a sense of volume. The main living space includes a contemporary wood-burning stove and motorised solar blinds that operate remotely, allowing evening warmth and daytime shading when needed.
The property retains traditional exterior character at the front but pairs it with modern detailing where the extension meets the original building. Interior circulation appears arranged to prioritise the rear living space and garden access.
# External space and practical features The rear garden is a principal feature: sizeable, level, south-facing and private, with planted mature shrubs and a spacious lawn. The garden includes an area of artificial grass for low-maintenance use and multiple defined sitting zones for different activities.
Storage is practical and extensive. Multi-shed storage runs the length of the house, providing room for garden equipment, bikes and seasonal items. The property also includes a single garage and a paved double driveway offering off-street parking for two cars. The garage has been fitted out as a home gym but can be reinstated for vehicle storage or used as additional workshop space.
# Garden office and connectivity A fully insulated, high-spec garden office was installed in 2025. It has electricity, CAT5 ethernet connectivity and a heater, and is sized to accommodate two desks. The office is ready for remote work, studio use or hobbies without further fit-out.
