Traditional Three Bedroom 1920s Inverness Home Beautifully Updated With Contemporary Interiors And Excellent Outdoor Family Space

This is beautiful home oozes genuine warmth and personality, blending contemporary style with the character of a 1920s property. Set in a popular location close to Inverness city centre, it’s a home that’s perfect for a wide range of people.

Looking at the home from the street, the contrast between the bright clean white painted exterior and the dark detailing around the windows and doors, gives it a striking appearance from the moment you arrive. Flowering hedges add colour to the front, while the generous gravel driveway provides plenty of room for parking too.

You enter the property through the porch. This is a bright space with glazing, white painted finishes and tiled floor. A small radiator ensures your arrival is warm even during colder months.

The sitting room strikes an excellent balance between traditional and modern styling. On two walls, white panelling lines the lower half with decorative wallpaper above. The remaining walls are appointed a neutral white. A wood burning stove sits neatly within the chimney breast, with a chunky timber mantle which catches the eye above. The wide front window brings in excellent natural light and the black traditional style radiator set beneath it ties in beautifully with the darker finishes used throughout the home. Herringbone style timber flooring completes the room and gives it a premium feel.

On the opposite side of the hallway, the dining kitchen is another beautifully decorated space. Soft sage green cabinets are paired with black handles and topped with solid timber worktops. The kitchen cabinets are arranged in a U-shape with a set of tall cabinets on another wall. A ceramic farmhouse sink sits beneath the rear facing window with black taps. To the side is a built in oven with gas hob fitted above, and modern black extractor hood continuing the darker accents. There’s a breakfast bar spot with space for seating beneath and decorative black pendant lighting hanging above which cleverly separates the two spaces. The dining area flows naturally and comfortably accommodates a family table. A black column radiator sits beneath the window with warm timber flooring running underfoot.

Just off the kitchen, the WC has been decorated with soft pink tones, patterned flooring and black fittings which give the compact space plenty of personality. The frosted window allows natural light while maintaining privacy.

Upstairs, the landing connects the three bedrooms and shower room. The first bedroom is simple, calm and comfortable, with white walls balanced by a deep green feature wall. A decorative fireplace and traditional surround bring a little of the home’s original character into the room without dominating the more modern styling.

The second bedroom has a softer feel, with dusky pink tones and a large window helping the room feel bright and welcoming. The proportions comfortably suit a double bed alongside additional furniture and storage.

The third bedroom is a little smaller, currently arranged as a nursery, and makes excellent use of the available space. White walls and a slim window keep the room bright and uncluttered, while the shape would equally suit a child’s bedroom, dressing room or home office depending on requirements.

The shower room is another stylish space. The black framed shower enclosure immediately stands out against the white hexagonal tiling with black grout, while the rainfall shower fittings continue the sharper modern styling. Large grey wall tiles on the side wall adds contrast while the built in shelving provides genuinely useful family storage for things like towels.

Outside, you’ll find a rear garden that has a substantial amount of usable space. The large lawn creates a great area for children or pets, while a gravel section immediately outside the back door works as a great spot for seating or outdoor dining. Mature trees and hedges help define the boundaries. The detached double garage sits toward the rear and provides excellent storage, workshop potential or secure parking behind the roller door access.

This property combines the character of a one hundred year old home with thoughtful modern upgrades, perfect for family living close to the city centre. Early viewing would be highly recommended because homes like this rarely stay available for long, so contact Hamish Homes today.
