Beautifully Updated Three-Bedroom Cottage With Two Bathrooms, Private Garden and Driveway in Inverness

Set just a short distance from the city centre, 88 Telford Road is a charming end-terraced cottage offering three bedrooms, two bathrooms and private outdoor space, all wrapped in traditional character and modern comforts. With off-street parking to the front, a private rear garden and tasteful interior updates, this deceptively spacious home provides an inviting blend of practicality and personality.

A lock-block driveway sits at the front of the home, bordered by original stone walls and offering a practical, low-maintenance parking space. Inside, the hallway feels bright and inviting thanks to generous natural light and soft neutral coloured walls. Dark wooden flooring adds warmth and character, while pale grey finishes on the doors and bannister introduce a modern edge without overwhelming the space. A staircase rises toward the first floor, and thoughtful touches like a row of coat hooks, a radiator and an under-stair cupboard enhance practicality.

The main sitting room flows naturally from the hallway. A timber-style feature wall adds warmth and character, while ceiling spotlights keep the space feeling bright and welcoming. A front-facing window allows natural light to fill the space, while the continued wooden flooring and neatly placed radiator complete the room’s clean, comfortable atmosphere. There’s ample room for a sofa, coffee table and entertainment unit, making it a cosy spot to unwind.
The kitchen is finished in soft green tones with matching cabinets, tiled splashbacks and a slate-grey sink with a modern flexi-hose tap. A central island with a wooden worktop offers additional preparation space and includes seating for casual dining or coffee breaks. Integrated appliances include an oven and microwave, with space for both a washing machine and slimline dishwasher. There’s a back door here that opens into the rear garden.
Also on the ground floor is a shower room, fully tiled in a bold aqua green shade that gives the space real personality. A matching coloured vanity unit with wooden worktop supports a small bowl-style sink, with a chrome towel radiator just beside. The room also includes a modern toilet and a generous walk-in shower enclosure with mains shower, making it a practical and stylish space for everyday use or visiting guests.

The final room on the ground floor is a versatile space currently used as a home office. A wall-spanning built-in wardrobe offers excellent storage, while a statement wooden-panelled feature wall adds texture and character. A window looks out to the rear garden, with a radiator beneath and wooden flooring continuing throughout. This room would also work well as a single bedroom, second lounge or dedicated dining room.

Upstairs, the main bathroom features large grey wall tiles on all sides with stylish mosaic-style tiles white and cream tones interspersed. A deep square bath with centrally mounted taps is ideal for a relaxing soak, with a wall-mounted sink and toilet completing the suite. A chrome towel radiator keeps the space warm and towels dry, while the sloped attic ceiling adds character.
There are two double bedrooms on the upper floor, each with their own charm. One is finished in a soft grey tone with a Velux-style window, wooden skirtings and space for a double bed and furniture. The other is painted in a warm green, with the same wooden flooring found throughout the ground floor, two Velux-style windows and ceiling spotlights that help keep the room bright.

Outside, the rear garden has been designed with both relaxation and practicality in mind. Directly outside the kitchen is a timber-decked patio area with a canopy overhead, perfect for outdoor seating or dining. To one side is a dedicated barbecue area and beyond lies a generous lawn, ideal for families and pets. Two timber sheds – one larger with a pitched roof and one smaller with a lean-to – provide useful garden storage and hobby space.

This characterful home combines over a century of history with thoughtful modern updates, making it a fantastic opportunity for a wide range of buyers.
