Area classified as very deprived — may affect capital growth/tenant mix
Cosmetic updating recommended for kitchen/bathroom to maximise value
This traditional three-bedroom stone-built semi-detached villa sits in the heart of Inverness, a short walk from the River Ness and city-centre amenities. The house retains period character — high ceilings, ornate coving, deep skirtings and a feature fireplace — while benefiting from double glazing and gas-fired central heating. Rooms are well proportioned with useful built-in storage and an attic with potential for further use (subject to consents).
Ground-floor accommodation includes a welcoming entrance hall, front lounge, dining room, kitchen with integrated oven/hob, utility room and a cloakroom. The first floor has two generous double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a mains-fed shower room. Outside there are small gravelled front and rear gardens; the rear contains a large summer house and shed suitable for low-maintenance outdoor living.
The property is freehold and in generally good condition but would benefit from cosmetic updating to kitchen and bathroom fittings to maximise value. Its central location and solid period construction provide clear appeal for family occupation or buy-to-let investors seeking strong rental demand. Note the local area is classified as very deprived which may affect long-term capital growth and tenant profiles.
Practical points: on-street permit parking is available, broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent. There is no recorded flood risk. Prospective buyers should allow for modest refurbishment and consider loft conversion or internal reconfiguration to unlock further value, subject to planning and building regulations.
