This ground-floor, one-bedroom apartment sits within a Victorian stone building a short walk from Inverness city centre — ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking a central, well-connected home. The accommodation is bright and well proportioned, with high ceilings, deep skirtings and a large front window that brings in plenty of light. Gas central heating and double glazing are already in place, reducing immediate running-cost concerns.
The layout includes a welcoming L-shaped hall, a generous front lounge with shelved alcove, a double bedroom with fitted storage, a kitchen/diner with integrated oven and space for dining, and a practical rear porch/utility with fitted storage and appliance space. There is a communal rear garden laid to lawn with drying areas and a small gravelled front garden. On-street parking is available to residents and visitors.
Buyers should note the property sits in an area with higher-than-average deprivation; that can affect demand and resale timing in some market conditions. The apartment is of modest overall footprint, and the shower room uses an electric shower rather than a mains or thermostatic system. Although the building retains attractive period character, older stone construction can mean future maintenance on elements such as windows, insulation or roof work — factor potential refurbishment costs into your offer.
Practical positives include excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, freehold tenure, and proximity to local shops, schools and transport links. For an investor this presents straightforward rental appeal due to location; for a first-time buyer it offers a characterful, centrally located home that is largely ready to occupy with scope to add value through cosmetic updating.
