Spacious Five Bedroom Detached Bungalow With Large Rear Garden And Driveway In Smithton

Occupying a generous plot within Smithton, this detached bungalow has been extended to create a broad, flexible footprint that goes well beyond the standard layout of its era. With around 147 square metres of accommodation, five bedrooms and large garden areas wrapping around the house, it offers space both inside and out.

To the front there’s a gravel driveway with room for a couple of cars, along with a timber ramp providing accessible entry to the front door. Inside, the hallway leads you through to the main living areas.

The lounge is a generous room positioned with windows to the front and glazed French doors opening to the rear. That dual aspect keeps it bright throughout the day. Cream walls and quality wooden flooring create a warm backdrop, while a modern electric fireplace is mounted on the chimney breast to provide a focal point without dominating the space. There’s plenty of room here for full sofa arrangements and additional furniture.

From the hallway, a side corridor opens up access to several of the bedrooms and additional rooms, which is where the flexibility of this home really becomes clear.

A fifth bedroom, currently used as a second sitting room, offers another comfortable space with neutral walls and light carpet. A window with radiator beneath keeps it practical and bright. This room could just as easily function as a hobby space or playroom depending on what you need.

The main bedroom is a substantial double with two built in wardrobes fitted with mirror fronted sliding doors. The walls are finished in light textured wallpaper, while the patterned carpet adds character. Having its own en-suite shower room makes it particularly practical. The en-suite includes a corner shower cubicle along with a toilet and basin housed within a compact unit. A frosted window provides natural light while maintaining privacy.

Bedrooms two, three and four are all good size doubles, which is a real strength for a bungalow of this era. Bedroom two has cream walls and light carpet, along with a built in storage cupboard and wide window. Bedroom three continues the neutral theme, with white walls, a wide window and a built in cupboard with wooden louvred doors. Bedroom four includes a large triple mirror fronted wardrobe running across one wall, giving excellent storage without compromising floor space.

The home also has a study which sits quietly to the side and works well as a dedicated home office. It shares the cream tones and patterned carpet found elsewhere and has a window with radiator beneath, making it comfortable for daily use.

The family bathroom is fully tiled and has a more traditional feel. A large vanity unit runs along one wall incorporating the sink and toilet, with generous storage beneath. Above the basin there’s a wall mounted cabinet with a mirror next to it. To the side sits the bath with shower attachment fitted to the taps, and a chrome towel radiator completes the room.

At the rear of the home, the kitchen and dining / family space is where everything opens up. Glossy white cabinets line the walls, finished with chrome handles and paired with light coloured worktops. Large cream wall tiles surround the work areas. A Belling five ring induction hob is built into the worktop with a stainless steel extractor hood positioned above. Wooden flooring runs throughout the open plan area. There is plenty of room for a large dining table and chairs, as well as sofas and a television setup if you prefer a more open plan family arrangement. Multiple windows bring in natural light from different angles and French doors open directly out onto the patio, making it easy to move between inside and outside during the warmer months.

Outside, a substantial raised patio area provides plenty of space for outdoor seating and dining. Timber balustrades frame the area, giving it definition. Beyond this, the rear garden rises gently and is mainly laid to lawn, offering a good amount of outdoor space for children, pets or gardening.

With five bedrooms, multiple reception spaces and a large open plan kitchen area, this is a bungalow that genuinely caters for growing families or multi generational living. Its Smithton location places you close to local amenities while still within easy reach of Inverness city centre.
