2 Bedroom Terraced House

Delightful two-bedroom home with modernisation appeal; ideal first property

This lovely house is spacious and full of interesting features, some of which are enjoying a revival with families drawn to a vintage aesthetic, including fan lights, hatches, and beamed ceilings.

At 87 m2, the house is spacious and faces South-East ensuring the best of the sun is captured. The whitewashed exterior has a tidy front paved front garden facing onto a small well-lit square.

Built in 1967, the house is only a short walking distance from the centre of Alness and offers easy accessibility to Inverness and Dingwall, making it easy to commute. The area is also pretty and, close to fields, many historic sites, and the countryside.

Well maintained for its age and offering the solidity of many houses built during the 1960s, it also has the advantage of double glazing and gas central heating. Its build quality and features make it a desirable renovation project, especially for someone looking for their first home, either as a step onto the property ladder or somewhere to develop their skills.

The spacious living room has a feature gas fire set into the chimney breast and a beam where the original two rooms were converted into one open plan space, creating a sizeable double-aspect room that overlooks the front and rear gardens. Currently decorated with a papered feature wall and a red carpet, the room is perfect for upgrading with a new aesthetic touch.

The galley kitchen is simply designed and useable, with plenty of wall and floor cabinets, two long worksurfaces, and a hatch to the living room. Fully fitted with an oven and hob, and with plumbing for a washing machine and dishwasher, the kitchen can be renovated at leisure to suit the new owner’s timescale and budget.

There are two upstairs bedrooms; the principal bedroom has a large built-in wardrobe and a generous floor area. The smaller bedroom has a fitted wardrobe with overhead cabinets and another generous footprint. There is also a small study with a workbench.

A white tiled shower room completes the upstairs accommodations and has an electric shower with half height enclosure, WC and wash hand basin.

The garden is accessed via the kitchen and is laid with gravel and a paved path leading to a pergola. Enclosed with timber fencing, the garden features a small shed and shrubbery, as well as a passage to the front of the house and nearby on-street parking.

43 Salvesen Cresent is a well-cared-for property that offers great potential as a modernised, contemporary home and will provide a lovely place for a small family looking to create a stylish and comfortable place to live.
