Beautiful Historic B-Listed Riverside Home With Four Bedrooms In Central Inverness Location

This home is a substantial four bedroom period property with the River Ness literally just across the road and the city centre close at hand. Around 200 years old and B Listed, the house is spread out over two and a half storeys, giving you plenty of space for a family home. The location could also make it an interesting proposition if you are considering a central rental property.
The front of the home immediately shows the age and character of the building. Red sandstone walls have lighter stone around the tall windows and doorway, with a traditional slate roof and dormers above. It’s part of an attractive terrace running alongside the river.
The front door opens into an entrance vestibule before you continue into the main hallway. Period proportions are immediately apparent, with tall ceilings, deep door surrounds and a timber staircase rising through the house.

The living room is a fantastic size with deep blue coloured walls framed by white cornicing and decorative ceiling detail, while two tall windows give the room its traditional proportions. An open fire sits within a black cast style surround, with built-in shelves and cupboards on either side. There’s plenty of space here for sofas and additional furniture, making it a room that can comfortably handle family life as well as larger gatherings.
A wide opening connects the living room with the dining room behind. There’s room here for a large table and plenty of chairs, with textured light coloured walls, a wall light and an arched shelving area adding detail.

The kitchen sits at the rear and has a warm, traditional feel that suits the age of the home. Cream panelled cabinets are paired with timber worktops and a small mosaic tiled splashback. There’s also enough room within the kitchen for a small table, making it practical for breakfast or everyday meals.
Connecting the kitchen and the dining room is the breakfast room extension, which gives you another very different space at the rear of the house. Wide French doors open directly onto the outside patio and flood the space with light. White walls and sections of exposed stone retain a connection with the older parts of the building, while the room itself gives you an obvious place for relaxed dining beside the garden.

The staircase leads up to the first floor where you will find the first two bedrooms and the main bathroom. Bedroom one is a large room currently accommodating two single beds, giving a good indication of the floor space available. Light coloured walls are paired with white cornicing, while a decorative alcove adds another period detail on one side.
Bedroom two is another generous double, with two tall windows set into one wall and enough space for a dressing table, chairs and other furniture. The decorative ceiling and cornicing add character above, while the size of the room makes it easy to imagine as one of the main bedrooms in the house.

The first floor bathroom has a modern finish, with a bath on one wall that has a glazed shower screen fitted to the side. A pedestal wash basin and toilet sit opposite, with a chrome towel radiator completing the room. The large window gives the bathroom plenty of light and ventilation.
The staircase continues to the attic floor where bedrooms three and four are almost identical in size and layout. Both are comfortable doubles with angled ceilings, deep dormer windows and plenty of space for a full double bed and additional furniture.
A separate shower room also serves this level, and as you’d expect, also has a sloping ceiling with a roof window above. A shower enclosure is built into the corner with a wash basin and toilet in situ too. Herringbone patterned flooring adds a nice touch. Having this shower room space means the upper floor has its own facilities rather than relying on the bathroom below.

The rear patio sits immediately outside the breakfast room and gives you space for a table and chairs. From here the garden continues into a larger lawned area, with plants, flowers and stepping stones leading through the grass. Old stone walls around parts of the garden add to the sense of history, while timber fencing encloses the remaining boundaries. There is also pedestrian access to the rear.
If you’ve been looking for a home with genuine history, generous rooms and the river almost on your doorstep, this has to be seen in person. Contact Hamish Homes to arrange your private viewing now.
