Top Floor Flat in 3 Storey End Terraced Block

Just a short walk from the centre of one of Scotland’s most popular cities, this comfortable one-bedroom apartment offers easy access to the main facilities of Inverness.

1e Carlton terrace offers several domestic and investment opportunities, both as a starter home for a professional person or couple, or as a holiday rental for the many visitors who use Inverness as a base from which to explore the Scottish Highlands.

Constructed in approximately 1902 and set on the end of a terrace, the building contains a small number of similar properties; with its distinctive wedge-shaped architecture and sandstone construction, Carlton Terrace has obvious character.

The apartment is situated on the top floor and is accessed via two flights of stairs; the accommodations offer a spacious floor area for a property of this type.

Overlooking a quiet road to the rear, and with double glazing throughout, there is potential for this to be a quiet apartment but with all the advantages of a property close to the centre of Inverness, making it a good base for either working in the City, or as a hub when visiting the Highlands.

Once inside, a small entrance hall leads to a spacious living room with an attached kitchenette. Depending on the intention of the new owner, there is considerable potential to adapt the space to incorporate an open-plan kitchen into the generous living space, which will convert the property into an attractive and contemporary one-bedroom studio apartment. This upgrade will enable the existing kitchenette to be adapted to a utility room, cloakroom with WC, a small anteroom for hobbies, or additional storage.

The apartment is decorated strikingly throughout, and finishes are to a good standard; with careful design elements and a neutral colour palette, the property would avail itself as a smart, easy-to-manage home or holiday rental that makes the most of its proximity to Inverness.

In summary, 1e Carlton Terrace is a fun apartment in a traditional and unique building. Plus, being located so close to the centre of one of the major Scottish destinations, the potential of this property, either as a fabulous starter home or as a popular holiday letting, must be considered.
