Two-bedroom terrace house with garden close to city centre, ideal for modernisation

For someone who wants to renovate a house in an established community and with generous living accommodation and a garden, 69 St Valery Avenue ticks all the boxes. Being within walking distance of Inverness and available at an excellent price, it has great potential as a comfortable family home or buy-to-let property. Constructed in 1955, this house has generous proportions and many lovely features that are becoming difficult to find now making them so much more desirable to their scarcity, especially at this price point. These include an open fireplace, shapely rooms, higher-than-average ceilings, timber doors, and front and rear gardens.
Renovation will be required to bring this mid-19th-century property up to a level that is more suited to 21st-century tastes and standards but with vision and the right touch, the rewards will be worthwhile, resulting in a solid family home or investment property that is located in a good community. The property is accessed via a relatively large enclosed front garden, currently laid with gravel and which opens into a generous hallway. The living-dining room is double aspect and features a fireplace with the original tiled fire surround. The dining area currently has a hatch to the kitchen. The kitchen will require modernisation to create a new, contemporary setting that gives access to the garden. However, the shape of the kitchen and its current built-in storage also offers excellent potential for a creative layout.
Upstairs, there are two generous bedrooms that each have built-in storage and full-height ceilings. The bathroom is spacious and has good natural light. Outside, there is a timber-fenced garden which has a large area. The garden has several mature trees and shrubs and is laid with a lawn but it also benefits from a long profile, making it perfect for some clever garden designs, especially those that include zoning for play, relaxation, gardening, and entertaining. This area of Inverness is well-provided with green spaces and is close to the Caledonian Canal. There are also primary and secondary schools nearby, good transport links, and community centres.
All these aspects give 69 St Valery Avenue the potential to be a real winner, especially when these properties are becoming increasingly difficult to find. And with its original features, location, and affordability, this is definitely one to think about, especially if you have a desire to explore property renovation and investment.
