Exceptional Five Bedroom Family Home With One Bedroom Private Annexe Building And Private Parking In Prime Inverness City Location

54 Old Edinburgh Road is a substantial and versatile home finished to the highest standard to include generous living space and the rare addition of a fully self-contained annexe. Set in the heart of Inverness, this is a home that combines city convenience with an abundance of space for family life and entertaining.
Inside the hallway creates an immediate sense of welcome, with soft grey walls, wooden flooring and matching timber doors tying the interior together. A radiator ensures warmth while light from the front door filters through, highlighting the crisp, modern finish.
To the front sits the main living room, a broad space with a deep window drawing in natural light. A contemporary gas fire is set into the chimney breast, creating a stylish focal point that also provides comfort on cooler evenings. Pale carpeting and neutral tones keep the atmosphere calm and versatile, ready to suit any choice of furnishings.
At the heart of the home lies the impressive kitchen and dining space. Fitted with a sleek range of modern units topped with solid timber worktops that also extend round to form a breakfast bar area. Twin integrated ovens sit side-by-side at eye level within a tall bank of units, the gas hob is set neatly into the worktop, and a composite sink sits beneath the rear window. Checkerboard flooring and glossy white splashbacks give the kitchen a crisp, contemporary edge with black switches and sockets for a stylish contrast. Opening alongside, the dining area is sizeable with plenty of room for a full family table. This space is finished in soft neutral tones with wooden flooring and a large radiator installed for comfort.
From the dining area, a wide opening leads into the garden room, allowing the two spaces to connect seamlessly. The wooden flooring continues through, while light-painted walls and ceiling spotlights keep the room fresh. A rooflight overhead adds further daylight, complemented by the rear window set beside glazed sliding doors that open directly to the garden. It’s a bright and versatile space, perfect for everyday living or welcoming guests.
Practicality is well covered, too. There’s an exceptionally spacious utility room which leads off the kitchen and is fitted with an extensive set of cabinets and black worktops. There’s plumbing and space beneath for laundry appliances, which makes it a great spot for keeping laundry tasks out of sight. Glossy blue tiles add a splash of personality around the worktop areas, while a door leads directly to the garden for convenience.
A ground floor WC is finished with white tiling, contrasted by a vertical stripe of mosaic tiles that brings colour and style. A traditional sink and toilet sit beneath a frosted window, with black flooring providing a neat finish.
Also on the ground floor is a flexible additional room to the front, currently used as a study but equally suitable as a bedroom. Wooden flooring, neutral walls and a window with radiator beneath keep it practical and adaptable to changing needs.
The switchback staircase that starts in the hallway rises to a broad landing that connects the four bedrooms and the bathroom on the first floor.
The principal bedroom is a spacious double, finished in neutral tones. A large window, with radiator beneath, draws in natural light, while a vertical chrome radiator on the internal wall ensures year round comfort. The room easily accommodates a large bed and additional furniture, with a calm, uncluttered style. Its en-suite is particularly striking, finished throughout in marble-effect grey tiling. Inside, a generous cubicle houses a mains shower with rainfall head, complemented by a modern sink, toilet and a sleek dark wood cabinet that adds useful storage.
A second double bedroom mirrors the same sense of fresh simplicity. Light painted walls and a soft carpet create a welcoming feel, with a window and radiator beneath. Its en-suite mirrors that of the main bedroom.
The third double room is equally comfortable, offering the same clean presentation and thoughtful touches. A chrome vertical radiator provides a contemporary edge, and the proportions of the room allow for flexibility in layout. Its own en-suite follows the style of the others, tiled in grey with a corner shower cubicle, toilet and sink, all designed for everyday ease.
The fourth bedroom brings individuality to the level, decorated brightly with one patterned wallpapered wall featuring woodland animals that lends charm and character. Though smaller in size, it has room for a bed or nursery furniture, making it perfect for a child’s room, a cosy guest space or even a home office.
The main bathroom combines style with everyday practicality. White tiles line the walls in a herringbone design, giving the room a crisp modern finish. A generous bath sits beneath the tall frosted window, fitted with a mains shower above that includes a rainfall head for a luxurious finish. Alongside there is a floating toilet and sink, which is neatly integrated into a cabinet that provides useful storage beneath.
The property is heated by a Greenstar 24i gas boiler located in the roof space, feeding radiators throughout, with hot water stored in a 250-litre insulated cylinder. PVC double glazed windows and doors are fitted, along with modern vertical chrome radiators in key rooms. The total internal space is an impressive 220m².
A real asset to the property is the detached annexe, featuring a fully self contained one-bedroom accommodation. You enter into an open-plan kitchen and sitting area, where wooden laminate flooring runs throughout to unify the space. The kitchen is fitted with light-toned cabinets and a dark worktop, with a built-in oven, gas hob and extractor neatly arranged for convenience. A small stainless steel sink sits alongside, while white tiling around the preparation areas adds a clean finish. The sitting area is bright and versatile, with room for both comfortable seating and a dining table, making it easy to enjoy everyday living or host guests. Ceiling spotlights combine with two rooflights and wide patio doors to fill the space with natural light and create a welcoming atmosphere.
The double bedroom continues the sense of comfort, decorated with soft neutral walls and a floral patterned feature wall to add character. A built-in wardrobe with mirrored sliding doors provides excellent storage.
The shower room completes the annexe in a clean, modern style. White wall tiling keeps the space bright, while the shower cubicle is finished in a bold black to contrast and fitted with an electric shower. A white ladder towel radiator sits nearby, with black flooring underfoot and a simple white sink and toilet completing the room.
Externally, the front is laid entirely with lock-block to create a large driveway, providing excellent off street parking. To the rear, the garden combines paved patios, gravel and lawn, with mature trees and planting for greenery and privacy. A greenhouse and timber shed add practicality and there are defined planting beds perfect for vegetables or flowers.
