Occupying an enviable terrace position within the ever-popular Smithton area of Inverness, this well-presented two-bedroom home offers bright, spacious accommodation alongside generous outdoor space that’s rarely found with properties of this size. Its position on a substantial plot creates a wonderful feeling of openness while providing far more garden space than many neighbouring homes.

Approaching the property, the attractive white exterior immediately creates a welcoming first impression.The home enjoys additional privacy with lawned gardens wrapping around the side and rear. Mature trees and neighbouring greenery soften the outlook while the elevated position allows attractive views across the surrounding residential area. A pathway leads directly to the front entrance where you immediately appreciate the peaceful nature of this established neighbourhood.

Stepping inside, the entrance hall provides a bright introduction to the property with crisp white walls complemented by warm timber finishes around the doors and windows. The practical layout immediately creates an easy flow between the ground floor accommodation while the staircase rises neatly to the first floor.

The living room is a wonderfully bright and inviting space, benefitting from windows positioned at both the front and rear of the property. This dual aspect design allows natural daylight to flood the room throughout the day, creating an airy atmosphere that feels both spacious and comfortable. Soft neutral décor combines with a grey fitted carpet to produce a calm backdrop that will suit almost any style of furniture. The generous proportions easily accommodate a large sofa suite together with additional occasional furniture, while still leaving plenty of open floor space. A useful recessed alcove provides an ideal location for shelving, display pieces or additional storage, adding both character and practicality to the room.

One particularly attractive feature is the open serving hatch connecting the living room with the kitchen. This thoughtful addition allows light to flow between both rooms while creating a more sociable feel, making conversation easy when entertaining guests or preparing meals.

The kitchen has been designed with practicality firmly in mind. White contemporary wall and base units provide excellent storage while contrasting beautifully with darker worktops and modern grey tiled splashbacks. Arranged in a practical U-shaped layout, the design maximises both preparation space and cupboard storage, making everyday cooking a pleasure.

A built-in double oven is neatly incorporated into the cabinetry, while the ceramic hob sits beneath a contemporary stainless steel extractor hood. There’s ample worktop space for small appliances together with dedicated areas for both a washing machine and under-counter appliances. A large window above the sink overlooks the garden, bringing natural light into the room while making washing up considerably more enjoyable than usual. Timber effect flooring completes the space, adding warmth while remaining practical and easy to maintain.

Despite its efficient layout, the kitchen never feels cramped. Instead, it offers everything required for modern day living whilst maintaining clean lines and a bright contemporary appearance.

Returning to the hallway, the staircase leads comfortably to the upper floor where the accommodation continues.

The landing provides access to both bedrooms, the family bathroom and a useful storage cupboard, ensuring there’s valuable space available for household items that you don’t necessarily want on display. Soft neutral decoration continues upstairs, maintaining the fresh, move-in-ready feel found throughout the home.

Bedroom two is another well-proportioned double and would be equally suitable as a guest bedroom, children’s room or dedicated home office. Decorated in fresh white tones with matching grey carpeting, the room provides a blank canvas for the next owner to personalise. A large window overlooks the front of the property, ensuring the room feels bright and welcoming, while the generous floor space easily accommodates a double bed together with wardrobes or additional furniture.

The family bathroom has been modernised to create a clean and contemporary space that combines style with practicality. Large grey stone-effect wall panels surround the bath, creating a sleek finish that’s both attractive and easy to maintain. The bath itself benefits from a glazed shower screen together with an electric shower overhead, offering the flexibility of both quick showers and relaxing baths. A white WC and pedestal wash hand basin complement the modern finish, while the frosted window provides natural light without compromising privacy. Warm timber-effect flooring completes the room, tying in perfectly with the finishes found throughout the rest of the home.

Outside is where this property begins to stand apart from many similar homes currently available. Occupying an enviable corner plot, the gardens wrap around both the side and rear of the property, creating considerably more outdoor space than is normally associated with a two-bedroom terrace. The front garden is mainly laid to lawn and enhances the attractive kerb appeal of the home, while the generous side garden offers exciting potential for keen gardeners, children’s play equipment or simply somewhere to sit and enjoy the sunshine during the warmer months.

To the rear, the fully enclosed garden provides a safe and private outdoor environment, ideal for children or pets. A combination of lawn and paved pathways creates a practical yet low-maintenance space, while timber fencing clearly defines the boundaries. A substantial timber shed provides excellent external storage for bicycles, gardening equipment and seasonal items, ensuring the garden remains uncluttered throughout the year.

The position of the property is another significant advantage. Being located at the end of the terrace provides an additional sense of privacy together with uninterrupted green space to the side, while the quiet residential cul-de-sac creates a peaceful environment with very little passing traffic. Families will appreciate the safe surroundings, while commuters benefit from excellent access into Inverness city centre and the surrounding road network.

Throughout the home, the neutral décor allows prospective purchasers to move straight in with minimal work required. Whether you’re furnishing your first home, looking for an easily managed investment property or searching for somewhere comfortable to downsize, the accommodation offers a wonderful balance of practicality, comfort and future potential.
